RC Lens vs AS Monaco 2025: Ligue 1 Match Prediction and Betting Tips
AS Monaco’s away win remains a top prediction for their May 17, 2025, clash at Stade Bollaert-Delelis, with over 2.5 goals likely based on past high-scoring encounters. RC Lens faces a challenge with top scorer M. Nzola (6 goals) listed as a doubt due to injury, potentially impacting their attack. Meanwhile, L. Camara’s assists (6) for Monaco will be key in exploiting Lens’ vulnerable home form.

The rollercoaster season of RC Lens has had glorious moments yet unpredictable at others. Sitting at 9 in Ligue 1 with 49 points (14W-7D-12L), the team faces Monaco in the last fixture of the 2024-25 season at Stade Bollaert-Delelis with the hope of finishing in the top half yet. Their recent form-LWLWD-is the reflection of their inconsistency; they have also lacked composure at home-their home record stands at LWWLL.
Under William Still, Lens has had occasions of exciting attacking football but also ones of poor defending in that they have conceded in each of their last five matches. They've also conceded first in 4 of their last 5. Untouched since those early days of March, the 16-year-old Kyllian Antonio has been the star attraction, while M'bala Nzola, who will miss out on this one, has been the joint top scorer. With Nzola sidelined, Lens will be seeking alternative sources for goals.
This match is emotionally as well as strategically important. Lens will want to end strongly for their fans against a Monaco side that has already secured Champions League football. But the numbers don't lie: they've been inconsistent at Stade Bollaert-Delelis, under 10.5 corners in 7 of the last 9 matches, and the defensive mistakes are still a million-a-minute.
📝 RC Lens Lineup
🔖 Expected Lineup: Ryan, Medina, Gradit, Machado, Bah, Thomasson, Mendy, Diouf, El Aynaoui, Pouilly, Koyalipou
⛔️ Out: Hervé Koffi, M'bala Nzola, Denis Petric, J. Chavez, R. Lascary
👤Head coach: William Still

✈️ AS Monaco: form and statistics
The side has been impressive in 2025, and they arrive at Lens having already secured Champions League football. Monaco now stand third in Ligue 1 (18W-7D-8L), remaining unbeaten in the last five matches (WDDWW) and coming in after a comfortable 2-0 win over Lyon. Indeed, Hütter has brought about balance at the right moment.
The away record of Monaco is pretty competitive (DWLDW), depicting a picture of a tough side to break down on the road. There is much clever movement and midfield domination in their game, led by L. Camara, who is still munching up assists. In the Lyon clash, Takumi Minamino scored, his sixth Ligue 1 goal of the season.
Monaco have gone off the pitch headlines, announcing the signing of Eric Dier from Bayern Munich on a three-year contract. The club also renewed its premium hospitality subscription deal with Roche Bobois, further cementing its brand strength. Such confidence and squad depth would indeed make Monaco a tough nut to crack, wherever they play.
Stats that back up this edge: Monaco are unbeaten in 5, have seen under 10.5 corners in 4 of their last 5, and are still finding ways of grinding out results with tactical discipline and clinical finishing.
📝 AS Monaco Lineup
🔖 Expected Lineup: Köhn, Teze, Kehrer, Caio Henrique, Singo, Akliouche, Camara, Zakaria, Biereth, Embolo, Minamino
⛔️ Out: F. Balogun, M. Al Musrati, A. Golovin
👤Head coach: Adi Hütter

Lens will fight to end their season on a good note at Stade Bollaert-Delelis, but Monaco appear full of confidence and form. The attacking unit of Monaco, with Camara's creativity and Minamino's finishing, could be lethal against Lens' shaky defense.
