Lyon Monaco Match Preview

Preview

Lyon was runner-up in last season and this time they will want the title. Club lost some player who were decent, but not so great to play in first XI - I'm writing about midfielder Bodmer and defenders Clerc and Boumsong. Also right winger Sindey Govou left the club, he was regular, but also he was not so good than a couple of years ago. On his place Lyon bought Jimmy Briand (5 goals & 10 assists) from Rennes. For this match 3 big names will be missing: best striker Lisandro Lopez (15 goals & 6 assists), useful offensive player Cesar Delgado are injured and right defender Anthony Reveiller is suspended.
Monaco finished on 8th and in this season can be only worse. They sold best player - left winger Nene (14 goals & 6 assists) to PSG. Useful defensive player Modesto also left the club. New players are: regular centre back from Rennes - Petter Hansson, Daniel Niculae (4 goals & 10 assists) - center forward from Auxerre. They also bought striker Mbokani for 7 million euro from Standard Liege. It's strange, because this 24 y o player even in poorer league was able to score only 4 goals in 20 appearances. Monaco could be in big troubles, because of missings of 3 central midfielders - Perez, Haruna and Eduardo Costa. They still have Gosso and Coutadeur, but it's not the same sort of players. Also important right winger Alejandro Alonso (2 goals & 7 assists) is not available.
Lyon is on similar level than they were in last season, Monaco is weaker. Lyon should won this one, but odds are not great at all, especially if we know that hosts will be without best striker Lopez.
