Does Monaco manage to overcome the evolution of last season? Ligue 1 starts with a strong duel.

AS Monaco: Team information, moment form

The Monegasks have had a nightmare season and were close to a comeback in Ligue 1. However, they managed to save themselves from relegation at the end of the season, being unfair to a team that invested so much, to evolve in the season. second. Monaco is trying to take everything from 0 this summer and try to return to the top of the first French league. I do not know if they will again pose serious problems for PSG, but surely the team will fight for a European place. Today’s hosts have strengthened with Gelson Martins (30 million – Atletico Madrid), Benjamin Lecomte (13 million – Montpellier) and Ruben Aguilar (8 million – Montpellier). Instead, the Monegasians sold Youri Tielemans to Leicester for 45 million euros.

Lyon: Team information, moment form

Lyon finished in 3rd place in Ligue 2, so the team prepares again for the UEFA Champions League groups. But the team weakened enormously, after the management sold 3 exponential players. Tanguy Ndombele left for Tottenham, Ferland Mendy for Real Madrid and Nabil Fekir for Betis, the three totaling over 110 million euros. Instead, they were strengthened by the arrival of Joachim Andersen, Thiago Mendes, Youssouf Kone and Jean Lucas. In addition, Ciprian Tatarusanu signed from the position of player free of contract, this one taking the transfer of the career to 33 years. However, it is hard to believe that the Romanian international will manage to take a title position at the former champion of France.

AS Monaco vs Lyon Picks

Lyon lost at the last trip on this field and I do not expect a very good game from them today. They sold the best and did not transfer the stars, and the team is clearly weaker in value than the previous season. Monaco needs a positive start in the new season, to forget the last campaign.
