AS Monaco vs RC Lens Preview
AS Monaco
Monaco have had a perfect opening to their Ligue 1 season with two straight wins, two clean sheets, and six points.
In their opening match at home to Saint Etienne, a 28th-minute strike by Takumi Minamino was enough to give them the win they needed. It was a deserved three points for Monaco after they dominated the match with 62% possession, 17 shots, and six on target.
Monaco’s second match away to Lyon was challenging, and it had all the hallmarks of a banana skin for Adolf “Adi” Hutter’s men. However, Monaco showed character and quality to come out 2-0 winners at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais with second-half goals by Eliesse Ben Seghir in the 65th minute and Lamine Camara in the 80th minute.
Our football predictions show that Monaco are well-placed to kick on and make it three back-to-back wins in Ligue 1 when they host Lens on Sunday.
RC Lens
RC Lens have won two out of their opening two rounds of fixtures in Ligue 1. The 100% record includes wins over Angers and Brest. In between these two Ligue 1 outings, Lens played the first leg of their Europa Conference League play-off at home against Panathinaikos, winning 2-1 ahead of the second leg away from home, which Panathinaikos won 2-0, making it 3-2 on aggregate.
In Ligue 1, Lens beat Angers 0-1 in their opening match, with Wesley Said’s strike in the 28th minute settling the clash. Lens had the better of the possession and chances in this match, highlighting their front-foot approach.
Last weekend, their second match against Brest at home ended in a 2-0 win. Jhoanner Chavez opened the scoring in the 19th minute, giving the home side the lead. Julien Le Cardinal put through his own net to double Lens’ lead in the 45th minute and ultimately the win.
Football bet predictions on 22Bet show that Lens will pose a significant challenge to Monaco as the two sides look to make it three consecutive wins in Ligue 1.
