It's advantage Monaco so far with their 6th position in the Ligue 1 table, welcoming Lens who are placed 9th.
- Monaco has the most matches over the total-line (10) in Ligue 1
- Lens has the most conceded goals in the second half (15) in Ligue 1
It's no vacation for neither Monaco nor Lens as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
These teams have little in common geographically as Lens have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
