Monaco can temporarily move into second place in Ligue 1 on Friday when they welcome Lyon to Stade Louis II on matchday 16 of the domestic campaign.
Last Saturday, Les Monegasques won a second successive encounter, 2-1 over Rennes, putting them within two points of Nice, while Olympique Lyonnais remain dead-last in the table despite a 3-0 triumph versus Toulouse.
Adi Hutter has guided this club to 30 points after 15 Ligue 1 matchdays, the fourth time Les Rouge et Blanc have reached or bettered that mark at this same stage of a domestic campaign this century.
It could be a good omen for them, as the previous three times Monaco had reached or eclipsed 30 points in 15 domestic affairs, they wound up in a top-three position by the end of the campaign, while the last time that happened in 2016-17 (33 points), Les Monegasques won the league.
Dating back to December 20, 2020, Monaco have suffered just one defeat in their last nine Ligue 1 December fixtures (2-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in 2021), while winning on seven occasions.
