Lille vs AS Monaco Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Ligue 1 2025-26

Les Dogues emerged as the winning side when these teams last met.

Lille are all set to host AS Monaco for the matchweek 2 fixture of the 2025-26 Ligue 1. Decathlon Arena – Stade Pierre-Mauroy is all set to witness the interesting clash between these clubs.

Lille OSC will be at home and it is going to be an advantage for them. In their opening game of the new season, they were held to a 3-3 draw by Brest. The hosts will now be looking for the first win of their new campaign, but their upcoming game is not going to be an easy fixture.

AS Monaco are coming in after securing three points out of their last Ligue 1 game. They defeated Le Havre by 3-1 after a good performance. They will be looking to continue their winning run now, but the next French league game is going to be a tough affair for them.

Players to Watch

Olivier Giroud (Lille)

The 38-year-old French forward will be leading his side yet again in the attacking front. Olivier Giroud scored an important goal for Lille OSC in their 3-3 draw against Brest in their previous French league game. The experienced striker is back in Europe and has already started making an impact.

Denis Zakaria (AS Monaco)

Lille OSC are going to be heavy on attack and Denis Zakaria will have an important role to play for the visitors in the midfield. The 28-year-old from Switzerland controls the midfield well and is going to be one of the main assets for his side. Zakaria also had a contribution in the final third in the last game as he came up with an assist.
