Sat 8th Nov, 20:05 BST, Stade Louis II, Fontvieille

Monaco are in Ligue 1 action on Saturday night, as Sébastien Pocognoli attempts to outsmart Pierre Sage and his Lens side at the Stade Louis II. For every Ligue 1 fixture, KickOff dives into the statistics for seventeen major betting markets. Meaningful stats, including head-to-head results, are then published alongside odds from the UK's biggest bookmakers.

Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there isn't an obvious winner here, but there's plenty of reasons to believe that Monaco and Lens will find the net twice at least between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Sébastien Pocognoli or Pierre Sage has served up too many 0-0s lately either. The bookies are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with top odds of 1.17 equating to approximately a 80% probability.
