Monaco – Lyon Tip Ligue 1, Matchday 17 on Saturday, 03/01/26 at 17:00 CET
From a purely objective point of view, the odds for a Monaco Lyon tip with values of 1.90 on average on the home side are high enough to land as a single bet on their own betting slip – even without an additional Oddset odds boost!
The Monegasques have won their last two home games against greats like PSG and Galatasaray and, funnily enough, have won both of last year’s duels against their upcoming opponents with the same final result – 2-0.
In addition, Olympique is certainly not a team that pulls something big away from home. And the AFCON absences of Mata and Niakhate have only further destabilized them since shortly before Christmas.
Monaco vs. Lyon AI Predictions:
Our data model always knows everything better – at least that’s what they claim. In any case, I have little to complain about the Monaco Lyon AI prediction for the first exchange of blows between the two teams in the new year.
The selection Under 3.5 goals promises to be not a very lucrative Monaco Lyon tip at odds around 1.40, but in my eyes this is almost the safest betting option this encounter offers.
Especially since in only 4 of Olympique’s 16 Ligue 1 games so far this season the aforementioned 3.5-goal mark has been cracked.
Predicted chance of winning:

If you want to follow tough statistics, you could stick to a trend that our data model has detected and select the selection “Highest-scoring half: 2nd half” at odds around 3.00 on your own betting app.
While I have a completely neutral feeling about this AI recommendation, the fact is that 50% of Olympique Lyon’s Ligue 1 away games this season have actually scored more goals in the first half. A striking record!
Last but not least, there is the suggestion of Lyon: Under 1.5 goals at odds around 1.53 – and here I fully go with it!
The Gones have not scored a single goal in four of their last five away games in all competitions and have only let it rip at Maccabi Tel Aviv (6-0) during this period.
