Team Previews, Form, and Standout Players

Monaco will be very happy with their start to the season, as they sit atop Ligue 1. However, their league position doesn’t mean they don’t still have shortcomings.

Lille will also be relatively happy with their start to the season, with an upturn in recent form leaving them fifth in the standings.

AS Monaco Preview

AS Monaco Predicted Line-up - Philipp Kohn; Wilfried Singo, Mohammed Salisu, Thilo Kehrer, Caio Henrique; Soungoutou Magassa, Lamine Camara; Maghnes Akliouche, Aleksandr Golovin, Ben Seghir; Breel Embolo

Monaco will be thrilled with their league standing, given the poor domestic performance they’ve shown in the past few years.

However, injuries to Folarin Balogun and Christian Mawissa in their last game against Rennes will significantly weaken their side.

Golovin’s experience will be vital if they’re to weather the threat that Lille present.

Lille OSC Preview

Lille OSC Predicted Line-up - Lucas Chevalier; Tiago Santos, Bafode Diakite, Alexsandro Ribeiro, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Mitchel Bakker; Angel Gomes, Andre Gomes, Ayyoub Bouaddi; Edon Zhegrova, Jonathan David

Despite a string of poor results, Lille have been back to their best in recent weeks. Securing wins against Toulouse and Le Havre in Ligue 1, as well as a fantastic win over Real Madrid in the Champions League.

A win could see them go within three points of their opponents, who occupy top spot in Ligue 1.

Jonathan David will be key, as he has been for the past few years, up front.
