Ride the wave of success in Metz to regain positive momentum! Having emerged victorious from their last match at the Stade Saint-Symphorien against FC Metz (1-2), the Rouge et Blanc are now focused on the upcoming clash against Lille. This match will take place this Sunday evening in the Principality (9 pm), as part of the 33rd and penultimate round of the league season. But before this potentially pivotal game, let's take a look at the statistics compiled by Opta, with our partner VBET. 📊
A tough opponent 🦾
AS Monaco have won only 18% of their matches against Lille in Ligue 1 since the 2020-2021 season (2 wins, 4 draws, 5 losses), their lowest ratio against an opponent faced in more than one season during this period.
Lille struggle at the Stade Louis-II 🪨
On the other hand, the club from the Principality has not lost any of its last 13 home games against LOSC in the league (5 wins, 8 draws), its second longest current run against a team currently in the top flight (15 against Metz).
The teams in form at the moment 📈
Monaco and Lille are the two teams that have collected the most points in the last 13 Ligue 1 matches, i.e. since the end of January.
They're a team with a lot of individual talent, and collectively they have a stable system of play, but with quite a bit of freedom because they have creative players. It's going to be a good match; they had a good run and then a dip, like us, before bouncing back.

Goals galore… or not ⚽️
Only RC Lens (53) and Olympique de Marseille (52) have produced more goals in the top flight in 2026 than Sébastien Pocognoli's men (51, with 30 scored and 21 conceded). Meanwhile, Lille (33, 18 for, 15 against) are the team whose matches have produced the fewest goals.
Stunning home finishes to the season 🏟️
The Principality club is currently on a six-match unbeaten run at home in the league (5 wins, 1 draw). It's worth noting that in each of the last two seasons, AS Monaco's longest unbeaten home streak occurred in their final home games of the season (6 in 2023-2024, 8 in 2024-2025).
Comfortable away from home 🛣️
Lille have won their last five away games in Ligue 1 and have only had one longer such run in the last 75 years, which was during the season of their last title (7 between December 2020 and February 2021).
It's a big game ahead of us! We're going to approach it in the best way possible, and we know we're in the final games of the season, so we remain ambitious. Above all, we want to showcase the values that make us strong and the details that were our strength during our seven-game winning streak.

Never give up 🫡
No club has earned more points after trailing this season in the league than AS Monaco and LOSC (14 each, the same as RCL). The Rouge et Blanc even managed to snatch three points against FC Metz after conceding the opening goal in the last matchday (1-2).
Intense pressing 🥵
Lille (1773) and Monaco (1745) are two of the three teams that have recovered the most balls thanks to high-intensity pressing this season in the top flight, alongside Auxerre (1768).
An impressive ratio for Ansu Fati 🇪🇸
Ansu Fati has reached 10 league goals for the first time in his career. Among players who have reached this symbolic milestone in Europe's top 5 leagues this season, only Ousmane Dembélé (10 goals in 930 minutes) has played less time than the AS Monaco player (965).
Beware of the Icelandic danger man 🇮🇸
Having scored against Le Havre last weekend, Hákon Haraldsson (LOSC) will face Monaco again, the only team against whom he has scored a brace in Ligue 1, back in February 2025.
