The 23rd matchday of Ligue 1 kicks off on Saturday with a clash between RC Lens and AS Monaco at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis. Last weekend, Les Sang et Or managed to regain the lead in the French championship, taking advantage of PSG's slip-up at Stade Rennais (3-1). Pierre Sage's team will be looking to put pressure on their Parisian rivals, who will be playing later in the day. To ensure they remain at the top of the table at the end of the weekend, the Artois club must win.
For AS Monaco, this match comes between the two Champions League play-off games against PSG. Last Tuesday, the principality club lost to the Parisians (2-3), despite a 2-goal lead after only 18 minutes of play. Sébastien Pocognoli's men want to take advantage of this clash to regain their confidence. Currently only 8th in Ligue 1, they need to string together a series of wins to get back into the fight for Europe.
