After two years without the championship trophy a new opportunity emerges for the team that dominated French football 7 years straight as Olympique Lyon welcome a difficult AS Monaco for the first match of the Ligue 1 season.
Lyon grabbed the second spot last season ahead of Auxerre by only one point and trailing raining champions Olympique Marseille by no less than 6 points.
The team has saw a great come back in the last stages of last year and positive results through out the training break but this will be a very difficult test for them.
AS Monaco where ranked 8th in the last edition of the League 1, middle of the table as it has for the past few years.
The team looks really solid on home ground but usually fails to impress and grab much needed point in away matches making them the underdogs of this confrontation.
My pick: Olympique Lyon to win ( under 2.5 goals )
