Leader of the championship, Monaco will try to consolidate its place by taking the measure of RC Lens.
In the space of a few months, the balance of power between Ligue 1 teams can greatly evolve. Last season, RC Lens would have started as the big favorite in a confrontation against AS Monaco. Today, and in view of the start of the season achieved by the two teams, this is not at all the case.
Lens must react
Monaco signed an almost perfect start to the exercise, with 7 points taken out of 9. Lens, for its part, completely failed by collecting only one unit in three games. And it is in this context that the artesian team will therefore move to the Louis II Stadium.
The RCL is sick, but it would be ignoring the resources that this team abounds to decree that it has no chance of surprising in princely land. Even if there were important departures during the summer, the vice-champion of France certainly did not have all his qualities during the off-season. As long as he finds the confidence he lacks, Lens is able to stop the good Monegasque series.
Obviously, Adi Hutter’s team will do everything to stay on top. Even if it displayed some defensive shortcomings in its last match against Nantes (3-3), it seems obvious that it is currently the most in shape L1 formation. The stability of its workforce clearly has a lot to do with it.
The probable compositions of Monaco – Lens:
Monaco: Kohn; Singo, Zakaria, Magassa; Vanderson, Fofana, Camara, Henrique; Minamino, Golovin; Ben Yedder.
Lens: Samba; Gradit, Danso, Medina; Frankowski, Abdul Samed, Diouf, Machado; Thomasson, Fulgini; Sotoca.
