Lens

The "Blood and Gold" struggled at the outset of this season, clearly finding it challenging to compete on two fronts, in Ligue 1 and the Champions League, leading to a faltering start in the French top flight. In their European quartet, the team finished third, hence continuing the battle in the Europa League. They managed to improve their position in the league, with Lens currently sitting in seventh place, trailing the leading quartet by 5 points.

In the last round, the team suffered a 0-2 defeat away to Nice, putting an end to an 11-match unbeaten streak in the league. The Coupe de France is the tournament where Lens has tangible chances to contend for the trophy.

Monaco

The current season is shaping up well for the Monegasques, as they hold the third position in the league. Talk of a title challenge may be premature, given the 7-point gap from the leader. In the last round, the club defeated Toulouse 2-1 away, with Ben Yedder securing a brace and Golovin contributing, despite receiving a red card for unsporting behavior early in the second half. Monaco endured and secured their third victory in four matches.

Statistics and match prediction

The opponents already crossed paths earlier this season in early September, with Monaco confidently winning 3-0 at home. Notably, there is a high level of goal-scoring in their head-to-head encounters, with at least three goals scored in the last five matches.

Lens is slightly favored in this pairing, primarily due to the factor of their home ground. We anticipate an intriguing and unpredictable football display from both sides, making a bet on goals being scored by both teams a viable option.
