Lyon head into this after a 1-1 away draw against Saint-Etienne in their previous Ligue 1 match prior to the international break.
Aouar broke the deadlock for the visitors but could not prevent the hosts from scoring as Khazri’s extra time ensured a point a piece for either side.
Bosz’s men continues their inconsistent start and are on the 10th position with 13 points from 9 matches.
On the other hand, Monaco looks to build on their win against Bordeaux by getting one over Lyon here.
A comfortable 3-0 win helped Monaco reach 6th spot in the table with 14 points.
Tchouaméni, Golovin and Yedder got the important goals as Monaco picked up their 3rd win in 5 matches across competitions.
Both sides met in May earlier this year during the Ligue 1 2020-21 season where Lyon won 3-2 away in a goal-fest.

This should be a close contest given the quality in both sides. A point is the difference between the two and this ensures a tough contest.
Monaco has been in better form coming into this one but Lyon’s persistence can pay off. There are suspensions and injuries in either side and hence we see a draw taking place.
Players to watch out for: Aouar, Kadewere, Yedder and Volland.
