Two teams with four points to show from their first two matches of the 2022-23 Ligue 1 season will lock horns on Saturday afternoon, with Monaco welcoming Lens to Stade Louis II.
Monaco will enter the contest off the back of a 1-1 draw with Rennes last weekend, while Lens played out a goalless draw with Ajaccio in their second match of the campaign.
We say: Monaco 2-1 Lens
Both of these sides will fancy their chances of claiming a positive result on Saturday, and we are expecting a tight contest. It would certainly not be a surprise to see a draw at Stade Louis II, but we just have a feeling that Monaco's quality in the final third will allow them to claim a narrow win.

Marseille will be bidding to continue their positive start to the 2022-23 Ligue 1 season when they welcome Nantes to the Stade Velodrome on Saturday night.
The home side have picked up four points from their first two matches of the campaign to sit second in the table, while Nantes are 13th, drawing their opening two fixtures against Angers and Lille.
We say: Marseille 1-0 Nantes
Nantes are likely to be tricky opposition for Marseille, and the home side might need to be patient when it comes to grinding out a result here. We are not expecting a high-scoring contest on Saturday but believe that last season's runners-up will be able to claim all three points in front of their own supporters.
