Our Predictions
Monaco’s a slight favorite (1.83) and their recent form suggests they can get the job done, especially with their attacking talent. Both teams scoring (1.70 odds) makes sense since Lens has found the net in their last matches, and Monaco’s defense isn’t impenetrable. Over 2.5 goals (1.73 odds) fits well because both sides have the firepower to hit this threshold. A likely high-energy encounter with goals from both teams seems well-supported.
A tight contest with neither side willing to take big risks may end in a low-scoring draw. Odds of 3.75 for the draw reflect a decent possibility, especially if both teams focus on not losing rather than pushing for a win. With the under 2.5 goals odds at 2.10, this scenario favors a more cautious, defensive approach, possibly ending 1-1 or 0-0.
Lens will be motivated to turn their recent form around at home. A home win at 3.40 is tempting, especially if they tighten their defense. The 'No' for both teams scoring at 2.05 indicates a cautious game where Lens might nick a goal or two and keep Monaco at bay. Under 2.5 goals then suits a scenario where the game is closely fought, perhaps 1-0 or 2-0 for Lens.
Accumulator odds
Welcome to Extratips! Today’s clash saw Lens ship a hefty 4-0 defeat to Monaco in France’s Ligue 1. The key moments? First, a smart opener in the 21st minute set the tone. Then, the visitors’ relentless attacking pressure paid off with three more goals, sealing the deal early. Two players shined brightest: one was a midfield engine, controlling play and setting up chances, while the other was clinical in front of goal, putting away precise finishes.
Tactically, Monaco’s consistent offense kept Lens on the back foot, aligning with their recent away form, which clearly outshone the hosts’ struggling defense. Interestingly, the predictions leaned towards a draw or a tight home win with under 2.5 goals, but the match defied that, turning into a goal-fest favoring Monaco—an outcome that surprised many, considering the odds. Their win, odds slightly shorter than even money, was expected but still a boost for Monaco’s confidence.
Historically, Monaco’s away form and head-to-head stats hinted at their potential to score multiple goals, which they confirmed today. Going forward, Lens must tighten their defense, while Monaco look poised to press for higher spots. Major talking points? The offensive brilliance of Monaco and the evident defensive fragility of Lens—worthy of debate as they chase their season goals. Overall, a confident statement from Monaco, while Lens will need to regroup fast.
