Monaco to win and Total goals over 1.5

Both sides are in very similar form. Monaco may be slightly better by being the home team in this match.

In addition, Les Monegasques have lost the last two matches at Stade Louis II to Lens, failing to find the net in both encounters.

We think they will be eager to end this poor record.

Total goals over 2.5

In the last 10 matches at Stade Louis II, there have been a total of 26 goals, which means an average of 2.6 total goals per game, it is difficult to think that this encounter will be low-scoring.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Monaco vs Lens

Despite going down to 10 men just 15 minutes into the match, Monaco showed character to clinch a 1-1 draw against Rennes last weekend. As a result, Les Monegasques ended a five-game winning run in the league on home soil.

Meanwhile, Philipe Clement has some defensive issues to deal with, as his side failed to keep a clean sheet in the last 7 matches.

On the other hand, Lens failed to win against the newly promoted Ajaccio, playing out a goalless draw. Franck Haise’s team dominated with 64% ball possession and 12 goal attempts. However, that was not enough to score.

After two matchdays, Lens picked up four points, which is their best start to a Ligue 1 season since 2004/05.
