Lens vs Monaco

Lens finished in the top half of the Ligue 1 table for the 19th time in their last 25 campaigns, the fifth in a row since their promotion in 2020 (7th in 2020/21 and 2021/22, 2nd in 2022/23, 7th in 2023/24 and therefore 8th in 2024/25).

Lens are unbeaten in their last five matches to finish a Ligue 1 season (W3 D3), including three against Monaco.

Lens finished the 2024/25 Ligue 1 season with 52 points, one more than in 2023/24, crossing the 50-point mark for the fifth time in a row, something that had never happened in their previous four campaigns in the top-flight.

Lens will face Monaco in Ligue 1 for the 108th time, the team that RCL have faced the most in the top-flight but also the one against which they have lost the most (47), with two defeats in the last three meetings (D1).

Lens are unbeaten in their last five matches to finish a Ligue 1 season (W2 D3), two of which came against Monaco. This is the third time in the last five years that the two teams have faced each other at Lens to close their season.

Lens have 49 points after 33 matches in Ligue 1 2024-25 and will beat their tally of last season (51) if they win.

Monaco will finish on the podium for the ninth time in 12 seasons since their return to Ligue 1 in 2013-14 and can, if they get a better result than Marseille, finish in the top two in two consecutive seasons for the fourth time after 1962/63-1963/64, 1990/91-1991/92 and 2016/17-2017/18.

Lens have lost half of their home games this season in Ligue 1 (8/16) but have only finished one campaign with more than 50% of losses at home in the top-flight, doing so in 2014-15 (10/19 – 52.6%).
