Monaco can reclaim first place in Ligue 1 when they travel to Stade Pierre-Mauroy for a date with Lille on matchday 10 of the domestic campaign on Sunday.
Les Dogues are fourth in the table following a 1-0 win over Brest in league play last weekend, while Monaco came back to defeat Metz 2-1 but trail Nice by two points with a game in hand.
That has them within reach of a Champions League spot, currently trailing Paris Saint-Germain by three points heading into this weekend.
From the end of the previous domestic season into the current one, Paulo Fonseca has seen his side find the back of the net regularly, scoring in 12 successive top-flight fixtures, the longest current run in Ligue 1.
Since mid-May of last season, we have rarely seen Lille come away empty-handed from a domestic encounter, suffering just two defeats in their previous 13 league fixtures (4-1 versus Lorient and 2-1 against Reims).
