Monaco – Lens Predictions and Preview

  • Sunday’s Ligue 1 clash will be a mouthwatering battle between two teams that have made a perfect start after two rounds: Monaco and Lens. This is an impressive continuation of Monaco’s strong start to the season. They have now gone four games without conceding a goal in the league, their longest such streak since a six-game sequence at the end of the 2020/21 season.
  • Monaco’s watertight backline managed to hold Lyon to just one shot on goal in their last match, which was Lyon’s lowest number of attempts in a league game since such data started to be recorded in 2006/07. Looking ahead, it’s worth noting that Monaco boss Adi Hütter also boasts a perfect winning record against Lens (W3). This means that the Austrian has faced no other team more often on the touchline with a 100% record.
  • Lens, on the other hand, have had less time to prepare for this clash after their midweek UEFA Conference League qualifier in Greece. However, they can now return with their full focus on Ligue 1 matters. Like their hosts, Lens have begun the league season with a pair of wins ‘to nil’. However, you’d have to look back to 2022 to find the last time they won three straight games at this level without reply.
  • Playing away brings its own challenges. Despite finishing seventh last time around, Lens ended the season having accrued 20 away points, only one of which came in their final four outings of the campaign. They did beat Angers in their first away game of the season though, and new manager Will Still has won both of his personal away games against Monaco.
  • Players to watch include Monaco’s 19-year-old forward Eliesse Ben Seghir. He got off the mark for the season in the previous round, meaning all seven of his Ligue 1 strikes came in victories, whilst six came beyond half-time. At the other end of his career is Lens’ 33-year-old forward Florian Sotoca. He scored against Monaco in the cup last year and hit the opener in five of his six scoring league appearances in 2023/24.
  • A hot stat to consider is that Lens have won just one of their last nine league games in which they were the pre-match betting outsiders (W1, D2, L6).
