Monaco is expected to face a more difficult challenge against Lyon, given Lyon's attacking prowess and recent performances. The 3-1 victory for Monaco underscores their attacking threat and ability to capitalize on opportunities, whilst Saint-Etienne will need to improve their defensive stability and attacking efficiency to secure positive results in their upcoming matches.
