AS Monaco vs RC Lens - 02/09/2023
8915
On Saturday night, Monaco will look to continue their promising start to the new Ligue One campaign when they welcome Lens to the Stade Louis ll.
The home team has taken seven points from a possible nine at the beginning of the Ligue One campaign.
The team from the principality kicked off their league campaign with back-to-back league wins over Clermont and Strasbourg before a thrilling 3-3 draw at Nantes last time out.
The result means that Adi Hutter’s team has scored at least three goals in all three games this season.
Monaco has a mixed recent home record in Ligue One, although the 3-0 win over Strasbourg ended a three-game winless run on home soil in the French top flight.
The game continued a high-scoring trend for Monaco at the Stade Louis ll, as five of their previous six league games have now produced over 2.5 goals.
The visitors have made a poor start to the new Ligue One campaign, as they have taken just a point from their opening three games in the French top flight. Last time out, Franck Haise’s team suffered a 3-1 defeat at champions PSG.
Like the home side, Lens’ recent matches in Ligue One have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in seven of their previous eight league games.
Lens' recent away record could not be more inconsistent in the French top flight, as they have recorded three wins and suffered three defeats in their last six matches on their travels.
The visitors have been prolific on their travels in Ligue One, though, scoring at least two goals in three of their last four away games in the French top flight.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Monaco will continue their unbeaten start to the season by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter to add to Lens’ woes.
