Team News

Lens
Monaco
  • Jean-Louis Leca is back from suspension, but Wuilker Fariñez should keep his place in goal.
  • Gaël Kakuta is a doubt after missing out against Troyes last weekend. Look for David Da Costa to keep his place behind the front two here.
  • Philippe Clement will keep the same team as the visitors look to make it 10 straight wins to close out the season.
  • Kevin Volland's improving form has made him key to the team's brilliant run. The German has chipped in with four goals and three assists over the course of Monaco's winning run.

Prediction

  • Monaco will be well-motivated to stay in second place after last year's qualifying heartbreak, and only a win will assure them of that. Look for another high-octane performance from the Principality side after putting four past Brest last week.
  • Lens have had another fine season but even as they could technically qualify for Europe if both Strasbourg and Nice lose, they are likely to play this game as more of a valedictory match than anything else.
