Match Preview
Last season, Monaco’s choice of Philippe Clement as the Principality’s head coach did not appear to be paying off, but an incredible late-season comeback eventually allowed Les Monegasques to edge Rennes to a podium position and qualify for the Champions League.
In the third qualifying round for Europe’s top tournament, Clement’s team was given a challenging first matchup against PSV Eindhoven, and on Tuesday’s first leg, Axel Disasi’s late goal tied it up at 1-1.
The 2021–22 season saw Monaco win nine of their final ten Ligue 1 games. Clement’s team only won two of their seven preseason games, losing to Porto and Southampton before drawing PSV. Before their first Ligue 1 match, Clement will most likely consider the trip to the Netherlands. While RC Lens may provide a threat moving forward, Monaco has scored at least two goals in their last 13 Ligue 1 away games.
Franck Haise, however, faces a formidable challenge in trying to duplicate that magic after losing crucial players Jonathan Clauss and Cheick Doucoure to Marseille and Crystal Palace, respectively, this summer. The club did, however, spend more than half of the proceeds from those two sales on six new additions.
Last Saturday, though, it was a veteran player who stole the show, as Florian Sotoca’s hat-trick gave his team a 3-0 lead over Brest after 65 minutes. Haris Belekebla and Romain Del Castillo’s goals, perhaps due to Lens’s complacency, set a tense end. However, Lens held on to show that they can still be a factor this season even without the assistance of the aforementioned pair.
Haise will be pleased with his team’s performance and performance on the first day, but he will expect them to play much better defense on Sunday, especially if they find themselves taking a comfortable lead once more.
AS Monaco vs RC Lens Team News
- AS Monaco
Kevin Volland and Aleksandr Golovin will not be available for Monaco’s opening game of the new season because they have been punished for having too many yellow cards from the previous campaign.
Center-back Along with Myron Boadu and Willem Geubbels, Benoit Badiashile has a foot issue and is questionable for the first matchday. However, Sofiane Diop was able to play as a substitute against PSV without any issues. Caio Henrique, a left-back, can also be sidelined due to a positive COVID-19 test.
Diop and Krepin Diatta can now force their way back into the starting lineup thanks to Volland and Golovin’s suspensions. Jean Lucas and Ruben Aguilar may offer fresh legs as Monaco works around their Champions League commitments.
- RC Lens
Gael Kakuta (muscle), Adam Buksa (ankle), and Wuilker Farinez (ACL) will not be traveling with Lens because they are expected to be out for at least a few more weeks.
Haise is very unlikely to make any adjustments to his team’s starting lineup from the victory over Brest, and Sotoca will look to continue where he left off following his somewhat unexpected hat-trick.
