Lens vs Monaco Prediction & Betting Tips - French Cup
by Indran | in French Cup Prediction
Lens welcomes Monaco to the Stade Bollaert-Delelis for this round of 16 clash in the French Cup. Both teams have 33 points in the league with Monaco just one position ahead of 8th placed Lens due to a better goal difference. Lens are just a point behind the Europa League positions and two points behind the fifth place team. They will turn their attention away from the league and focus on the Cup competition. They lost their last home match to Marseille which brought to an end a run of seven matches unbeaten at home. Lens have only lost two of their last 16 home matches across all competitions. They had an excellent win in the last round when they beat current Ligue 1 champions Lille in a penalty shootout. Lens have managed to avoid defeat against Monaco in their last three matches, winning two and drawing one.
Monaco have had an easy ride into the last 16 with wins over lower league sides in the previous rounds. This will be a much tougher test as they lost their last match against Montpelier 3-2. This was their first loss in six matches and just their second loss in their last 15 matches. They have had a mixed bag of results on the road. In their last nine away matches they have won three, drawn three and lost three. Their biggest problem on the road has been their lack of consistency having only won successive away matches once this season.
