How AS Monaco Comes Into the Match

The team coached by Filipe Luís suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat against Lorient on October 18, with Noah Cadiou scoring the only goal from the penalty spot in the second half.
The result ended Monaco's unbeaten start to the campaign and left the club with four victories, two draws, and one defeat from seven league matches.
However, the hosts returned to winning ways on October 22, securing an impressive 3-0 victory over Freiburg in the UEFA Conference League.
Paris Brunner, Lamine Camara, and Ansu Fati scored the goals as Monaco claimed its second consecutive victory in the European competition.
Back at Stade Louis-II, Monaco will look to protect its unbeaten home record across all competitions, having recorded four victories and one draw this season.
How Lille Comes Into the Match
Lille travels to Monaco looking to return to winning ways after two difficult results.
The team coached by Davide Ancelotti currently occupies fourth place in Ligue 1 with 14 points, having recorded four victories, two draws, and one defeat.
In its most recent league appearance, Lille played out a 1-1 draw against Brest on October 17. Olivier Giroud scored the equalizer from the penalty spot in the second half after the visitors had taken an early lead.
The French side then suffered a 4-2 home defeat against Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League on October 21.
Despite the result, Soriba Diaoune produced an impressive individual performance, scoring both goals for Lille.
With only five goals conceded in its opening seven league matches, Lille enters Sunday's encounter with one of the strongest defensive records in the competition.
