**Ligue 1 Matchday 10: Monaco Hosts Lyon**
After the international break, AS Monaco welcomes Olympique Lyonnais this evening to kick off the 10th matchday of Ligue 1. Currently sixth in the league after nine matches, Lyon will aim to secure their fifth win of the season against the Monegasques, who sit 10th with 13 points.
Samuel Umtiti is confident that Monaco is not an insurmountable challenge for Les Gones. “Their number of points and their recent matches aren’t great; they haven’t accustomed us to that. Despite everything, they can still pose a threat. I think we are above them in terms of our game, and we’ll have to prove it. We really need to distance ourselves from this team,” the Lyon defender said at a press conference.
A victory tonight would allow Lyon to extend their lead over Monaco to five points, strengthening their position in the top half of the table.
