High-flyers Lille and Monaco will look to continue their positive start to the Ligue 1 season when they face off on Sunday evening. The hosts are currently in fourth place in the league, while the visitors are two places above them. Lille had a solid 2022-23 campaign and have carried their good form into this season. They have taken 15 points in their first nine league games and are three behind PSG in third place. The Mastiffs come into this match following a 2-1 win over Slovan Bratislava in the Conference League. That result extended their recent record to five matches unbeaten in all competitions. During that time, they also went unbeaten in three league games, winning two and drawing one. In four home games this season, Lille won three and lost one and kept clean sheets in each of those three wins. The last match between these sides ended in a stalemate, but the hosts are the marginal favourites in this one. 

Meanwhile, Monaco got off to a flying start this season and were unbeaten in their first five games, including three wins and two draws. They were also leading the league for a while, but that was until they lost their first and only league match so far to Nice last month. However, since then, they have been flawless, recording three wins in three. Their most recent match ended in a 2-1 win over Metz and was also the third consecutive match which they scored two or more goals. The visitors are unbeaten in away matches this season, with a record of two wins and two draws, while averaging three goals per match on their travels. Monaco are the highest-scoring team in the league this season and will feel they are in with a very good chance of claiming the points in this match.
