Ligue 1 Predictions: Monaco Put Five past Lille

Ligue 1 Predictions: Monaco Put Five past Lille

Monaco ended 2019 in style as they thrashed Lille 5-1 to extend their winning run at home to six games. A very bad night for Lille whose excellent run comes to an end.

It started excellently for the visitors when Victor Osimhen gave them the lead. However, two goals in six minutes completely changed the game. Gelson Martins and Keita Balde put Monaco in front. Talisman Wissam Ben Yedder added a second-half brace before Kamil Glik added gloss in stoppage time. A fantastic night and the pressure eases on Leonardo Jardim. Lille haven’t won a league game in Monaco this decade.

Monaco’s resounding win lifts them into the top seven. Lille drop to fourth.

Montpellier Back on Track After Thrashing Brest

Michel Der Zakarian’s Montpellier got their season back on track after thrashing Brest. A much-needed win for Montpellier whose form had dipped to one win in five games. Brest’s patchy form continues winning just once in six.

Gaetan Laborde scored a brace of goals. Taji Savanier converted a penalty and Florent Mollet crowned off the scoring to ensure a big win for Montpellier. Brest will be disappointed but overall, they will be very satisfied with their first half of the season.

Montpellier climb into the top half. Brest remain 15^th but are comfortably clear of the relegation zone.
