Monaco will try to overtake Marseille by beating Lance on the road
In the match of the 34th round of the French championship Monaco will play away with Lance. The match promises to be interesting, although both teams have solved their main tournament objectives. The Monegasques, who will definitely play in the Champions League next season, can only beat Marseille and become the second, that is, the best team after PSG in Ligue 1. Which is an honour in itself. Monaco have been in good form in recent weeks. He does not lose five rounds in a row: defeated Marseille (3:0), played a draw with Strasbourg (0:0) and Le Havre (1:1), then coped with St Etienne (3:1), and in the last round defeated Lyon (2:0), for which it was also a key match in determining places in the European Cup. Lance, on the other hand, are ninth in the table, seven points ahead of Auxerre and one behind Brest. It can climb up a position. Last round "blood-golden" played a draw with Toulouse (1:1), earlier defeated Lyon (2:1) and lost unexpectedly large Auxerre (0:4). On their home field Lance has been performing poorly lately - lost two matches to Reims and Auxerre. But Monaco look decent away, scoring in eight away games in a row. So the Monegasques are the logical favourites. Although Lance are unlikely to want to end the season in front of their fans. In the first round of these rivals, by the way, played a 1-1 draw. And the previous three games were all Monaco's.
