Monaco are assured of Champions League football next season, and thus, against Lens, they have just pride to play for. Ninth-placed Lens will be hosting this game, seeking to see off a disappointing season. We have the preview and a prediction for this match below.
Having garnered 49 points, Lens can’t finish lower than ninth but can rise one place up on the final day. Whichever way, they will not be in Europe next year, and perhaps this is the time to rethink their strategy.
It hasn’t particularly been great at home, with Lens losing half of the 16 in Ligue 1 and only winning six.
Monaco will hope to extend their good record against Lens. They come into this game unbeaten against Lens in their last four meetings. The latest of them, the reverse fixture, ended in a 1-1 draw.
Monaco will not be able to match their tally of 67 points last season, but getting to the Champions League is enough. They’ve put up a five-match unbeaten run, crucially beating Marseille and Lyon in the process.
Monaco have only lost once in the last 10 matches and would love to sign off the season with a win here. Les Monegasques managed just six away wins in Ligue 1 this season.
