Monaco – Lens Preview: latest form, news, and potential lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Monaco vs Lens lineups.
Monaco
Monaco sit top of the table after 3 rounds with 7 points. So far, the forward actions have been hugely impressive with Monaco able to score at least 3 goals in each game they played.
After consecutive wins dropped the first points last weekend when able to only draw 3-3 on their visit to Nantes.
Ben Yedder continues to be in sizzling form and he has now scored in 4 consecutive matches. This is important as the other main striker Embolo remains sidelined.
Monaco are now trying to change the recent flow of these duels with Lens unbeaten in the last 6 H2Hs, with Monaco collecting just 2 points from those 6 matches.
Predicted Lineup:
Kohn (GK), Singo, Zakaria, Magassa, Vanderson, Fofana, Camara, Henrique, Minamino, Golovin & Ben Yedder
Lens
Lens are making a slow start to the season and they have just 1 point after 3 rounds. Despite scoring in every round so far and leading 2:0 in their first game vs Brest Lens conceded 7 goals already and this is the main reason why they are yet to win.
There are selection issues in defence and attack with all of Farinez, Said and Cabot missing due to injuries right now. Also, El Ayanoui will be absent from the back line for this trip as he is serving a ban.
Predicted Lineup:
Samba (GK), Gradit, Danso, Medina, Frankowski, Abdul Samed, Diouf, Machado, Thomasson, Fulgini & Sotoca
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.
Monaco
Lens
Player to Watch: Wissam Ben Yedder
Monaco’s captain Ben Yedder has scored in 4 consecutive matches. He has 4 goals in 3 rounds and has been on the scoresheet in every league game so far this season. With the other main striker out injured right now Ben Yedder is guaranteed a starting role and we expect him to continue getting good looks as Monaco are playing very well so far.
