Monaco vs Lens Prediction and Betting Tips | November 8th 2025

Monaco will welcome Lens to the Stade Louis II in Ligue 1 on Saturday. Both teams have enjoyed a good run of form in the league thus far. The visitors have seven wins to their name, one more than the Principality club, and also have a two-point lead.

The hosts saw their unbeaten streak in the league end after four games last week as they suffered a 1-0 loss to Paris FC. They bounced back with a narrow 1-0 away triumph over Bodo/Glimt in the UEFA Champions League earlier this week. Folarin Balogun scored the only goal of the match in the 43rd minute.

Les Sang et Or have seen conclusive results in their last five league games, recording four wins. They met Lorient in their previous outing and recorded a 3-0 home win. Odsonne Édouard gave them the lead in the sixth minute, while Wesley Saïd and Samson Baidoo added goals in the second half.

Monaco vs Lens Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• The two teams have crossed paths 121 times in all competitions. The hosts have the upper hand in the head-to-head record with 57 wins. Les Sang et Or have 31 wins and 33 games have ended in draws.
• The visitors were unbeaten in their two league meetings against the Principality club last season, recording a home win while the reverse fixture ended in a draw.
• Monaco have outscored Les Sang et Or 23-17 in 11 league games thus far.
• Lens have suffered three defeats in the league this season, with two of them registered on their travels.
• Eight of the last nine meetings between them have produced over 2.5 goals.
• The hosts have seen under 2.5 goals in five of their last six games in all competitions.

Monaco vs Lens Prediction

Les Monégasques have lost just one of their last eight games across all competitions, with that defeat registered at home in Ligue 1 last week. Notably, they have registered just one win in their last five home games in this fixture.

They have a lengthy absentee list as Lamine Camara, Paul Pogba, Lukas Hradecky, Christian Mawissa, and Krépin Diatta are sidelined with injuries. Eric Dier, Vanderson, and Denis Zakaria face late fitness tests, but Ansu Fati is back from an illness.

Les Sang et Or have won five of their last seven league games, and they have scored at least two goals in these wins. They have failed to score in three of their five away games this season, which is a cause for concern.

They have a clean bill of health for this match and should field a strong squad before the international break.

While the visitors have a good away record in this fixture, considering the current form of the two teams, we expect Monaco to secure a narrow win.

Prediction: Monaco 2-1 Lens
