Monaco vs Lens prediction

THE FORECAST

Monaco stands strong in second place with a run of three victories and an iron-clad defense (only 0.5 goals conceded on average and two clean sheets), while Lens is dealing with an extensive injury list of ten players and a poor run of two consecutive defeats. The conditions (20-25°C, dry, little wind) are neutral for both teams and give Monaco as the home team with a pressing-oriented playing style no disadvantage, although their own injury list is considerable with absentees such as Balogun, Fati and Minamino, which limits their attacking power. Lens does score an average of two goals per match, which makes a completely closed match unlikely and Monaco risks conceding a goal despite their solid defensive figures.
