Elton Mokolo Backs Monaco Over Lille Before 10 May 2026 Clash — Monaco Vs Losc
Elton Mokolo sees monaco vs losc as Monaco’s last real opening to cut the gap. He said AS Monaco need the result more than LOSC before the 10 May 2026 Ligue 1 meeting at 21:00.
Monaco Vs Losc Stakes
Monaco entered the 33rd round in sixth place with 54 points, while Lille sat fourth on 58. That four-point spread made the match a direct test in the race for European places, with Monaco needing to stay close enough to keep fourth place in play.
Mokolo did not frame it as a must-not-lose game for both sides. He said Monaco had the heavier burden, then picked them to win. His conclusion was blunt: “Je me dis quand même que la victoire est beaucoup plus impérative pour Monaco que pour Lille” and “Je pense que Monaco va gagner.”
Lille Run And Monaco Edge
Lille arrived with a 12-match unbeaten league run, but the numbers in Monaco’s favor were tied to a longer home trend. LOSC had not won a Ligue 1 match in Monaco since 13 December 2009, a stretch that gives Monaco a strong hold on this fixture despite the table gap.
That is why Mokolo’s call matters more than a routine prediction. Monaco are not just chasing points; they are chasing a route back to within one point of Lille, which Mokolo said would be their last chance to do it and keep fourth place within reach.
Medini’s Draw View
Najim Medini took the other side of the debate and expected a draw. He described Lille as a team that had not lost for a long time, but one that had still looked tight in recent matches against Le Havre, Paris FC and OGC Nice. His reading pointed to a match in which both teams could cancel each other out.
That leaves Monaco with the sharper objective before kickoff. A draw would suit Lille’s position more than Monaco’s, while a home win would pull the gap to one point and keep the pressure on the side above them in the table.
