Monaco will look to keep hold of their top-spot in Ligue 1 when the struggling Lens come to town. This matchday four fixture will be played at Stade Louis-II stadium in Monaco on Saturday with the hosts top with seven points and the visitors 15th with only one point. Monaco were held to a thrilling 3-3 draw last time out that halted their two-game winning start to the league campaign. Indeed, they needed to mount a comeback from 2-0 and 3-1 down to even come out with a point. That result should give them confidence of doing better here, as the international break looms. This is in sharp contrast to how their last season ended – three straight defeats. Home form is going to be crucial for their hopes this season and Monaco will be aiming to improve their recent form that has seen just three wins across eight home league games.

Lens would love to take a win of any type, as they travel here closer to the bottom-three after three matches. They have won just a single point so far this season from a 1-1 draw with Rennes a couple of matchdays ago. Coming here on the back of a 3-1 loss to Paris Saint Germain, Lens carry the burden of three defeats and a draw so far in competitive games this season. All the matches have seen goals at both ends though, which suggests that there could be action for the neutral fans to enjoy. Indeed, in their last four away league games, Lens have produced over 3.5 goals and a repeat result would make the entertainment lovers happy.
