Lens vs Monaco Prediction & Betting Tips (25 February)

Highly visible for several months now, Lens is chasing too many points lost at the start of the season to try to get closer to the podium. Racing is also still on pace to try to return to the Champions League next year since it is in 6th position in the ranking with only 3 units behind the 3rd place occupied by OGC Nice. Undefeated in the league since hosting PSG, the Sang et Or were able to defeat Toulouse 0-2, Nantes 0-1 and Strasbourg 3-1 before having to be satisfied with a draw at Reims last week 1 -1. At the same time, the Artésiens fell against Friborg on Thursday in a Europa League play-off after conceding a 0-0 draw in the first leg. Leading by 2 goals at the break, they were caught behind in the second half before conceding a 3rd goal in overtime 3-2 after. AS Monaco, for its part, does not have the leisure to be able to defend its colors on the European scene this year.

And there is no guarantee that she will be able to do it next year since she is only in 5th position in the rankings currently, with 2 small lengths ahead of her opponent of the day. If the balance sheet is far from catastrophic for the Rocher players, they have been very irregular lately. Hanging at home by Le Havre 1-1, they were able to win the Côte d'Azur derby against Nice 2-3 before falling against Toulouse 1-2 last weekend. Meanwhile, they were also knocked out of the Coupe de France by Rouen on penalties earlier this month.

The long-term absentees Cabot and Deiver Machado will still not be available to Franck Haise for this poster. Otherwise, all hands should be on deck on the artesian side. Suspended in C3 on Thursday, Danso is back. In balance to start, the summer recruit Wahi (3 goals, scorer Thursday in C3) was only a substitute last week and his competitor, Saïd, took the opportunity to score his 5th goal of the season in Ligue 1. He also scored against Fribourg, the Portuguese midfielder Pereira Da Costa (3 goals) and the Swiss army knife Sotoca (4 goals) will be candidates for a place in the 11, as will the senior defenders Medina and Gradit and the excellent full-back Frankowski.For ASM , the starting left piston Caio Henrique, the now right piston Diatta, the long-term injured Embolo and the excellent Vanderson will not make the trip to Bollaert's side this week.

The Camara midfielder has also joined the infirmary. The excellent striker Ben Yedder (11 goals), the young midfielder Magassa and the playmaker Golovin (6 goals, 4 assists) will be back after being suspended last week but it will be the turn of the defensive rookie winter Kherer and last day's scorer Akliouche to pay an accumulation of yellow cards. The excellent Minamino (5 goals, 5 assists) will be available. Very average against TFC, striker Balogun should be relegated to the bench this weekend.
