Team News

Monaco
Lens
  • Alexander Nübel was unavailable for Tuesday's match against Shakhtar and remains a doubt here; look for Radoslaw Majecki to start in the German's place if necessary.
  • Monaco could shrug off this match with a crucial trip to Ukraine looming but it's more likely that Niko Kovac selects a stronger side than the one that lost to Lorient.
  • Look for the likes of Jean Lucas, Myron Boadu, and Sofiane Diop to be in the eleven.
  • New signing Kevin Danso could start in central defence after only being on the bench last weekend.
  • Despite uncharacteristically having conceded twice against a normally tepid Saint-Étienne, Franck Haise has vowed to continue with his 3-4-1-2 formation.
  • Summer signing Wesley Saïd continues to struggle with a hamstring issue.

Prediction

  • Monaco have failed to be clinical when the chips are down thus far this season, and if they don't get among the goals soon, this season could quickly be one of frustration.
  • Lens have looked bright enough to date, and should have enough about them to get a result against a side whose focus will be elsewhere.
