Team news & rosters
| Position | Lille roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Grbic, Jakubech, Jardim, Raux |
| Defenders | Celik, Djalo, Botman, Gudmundsson, Fonte, Pied, Bradaric |
| Midfielders | Xeka, Ben Arfa, Sanches, Gomes, Andre, Onana |
Forwards | Bamba, David, Yilmaz, Lihadji, Weah, Zhegrova |
Lille will be down two players for this match, as Renato Sanches and Burak Yilmaz were both hit with red cards in the second half of Sunday’s 3-0 loss to Troyes.
That loss was the third in the last four matches for the Mastiffs, who have fallen out of contention for one of the spots in next season’s UEFA competition.
Jonathan David leads the team in goals this season with 13. Luck hasn’t been on the side of Lille, as the team has a minus-one goal differential despite an xGD of plus-10.1. But despite the recent struggles, there’s still a chance to end this Ligue 1 campaign on a high note.
Predicted Lille starting XI: Gudmundsson, Botman, Fonte, Celik, Weah, Onana, André, Zhegrova, Gomes, David; Leonardo.
| Position | Monaco roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Majecki, Nubel, Mannone |
| Defenders | Vanderson, Maripan, Ribeiro, Badiashile, Disasi, Henrique, Sidibe, Aguilar, Matsima |
| Midfielders | Fabregas, Martins, Matazo, Diop, Tchouameni, Golovin, Lucas, Fofana, Lemarechal, Akliouche |
| Forwards | Boadu, Ben Yedder, Jakobs, Diatta, Volland, Ayiah |
Monaco is currently fourth in Ligue 1, which would qualify it for the next Europa League. It’s made a nice run up the standings, winning seven matches in a row following a 2-0 win over Angers on Sunday. That’s helped turn around a season that was heading for disappointment.
And this might not be the end. If Monaco can miraculously win out, there are nine more points available for the team. It’s currently just three back of second place Marseille, an important spot because it would send the team directly to the Champions League group stage, where it would join PSG, which has already clinched the Ligue 1 title.
Ben Yedder leads Monaco with 21 points this season. The team has a goal differential of plus-22, the third-best mark in the league.
Predicted Monaco starting XI: Aguilar, Maripán, Badiashile, Henrique, Fofane, Matazo, Diop, Volland, Golovin, Ben Yedder; Nubel
