Team News

Monaco
Lens
  • Starting goalkeeper Radoslaw Majecki has suffered an ankle injury, which likely sees him out of action for up to two months. It gives an opportunity to German goalkeeper Phillip Köhn to retake the spot he lost midway through last season.
  • Adi Hütter has recently switched to a 4-4-2, hoping to pair strikers Folarin Balogun and Breel Embolo. He did, however switch this against Saint-Étienne with the introduction of Maghnes Akliouche off the bench.
  • Following Elye Wahi's transfer to Olympique de Marseille, Lens will likely turn to one of Wesley Saïd, Angelo Fulgini, or Florian Sotoca to head up the attacking line
  • Morocco U21 international Neil El Aynaoui is still recovering from a knee injury suffered at the Olympics.

Prediction

  • AS Monaco are looking as competitive as ever this season, and they hope to follow-up on a big win against Lyon with another clash of European proportions against RC Lens.
  • Monaco have won their last two Ligue 1 matches against Lens, and could make it three against the Sang et Or in the top flight for the first time since 1987/88.
  • Having won their first two Ligue 1 matches in 2024/25 without conceding a goal, Monaco could record three inaugural wins of this kind for the second time in their history after 1977/78, a season in which ASM were crowned French champions while being promoted.
  • Lens provide a tough test for Monaco, but they should pull through with the three points at home.
