Lille showed both attacking promise and defensive vulnerability in their opener.
Les Dogues opened their campaign with a thrilling 3-3 draw against Brest and will now look to secure their first victory of the new campaign.
Summer signing Olivier Giroud wasted no time making an impact, netting on his debut, and he will again be the focal point in attack. However, defender Ousmane Toure is a doubt after picking up a knock in the opener.
However, conceding three goals to Brest highlights defensive issues Paulo Fonseca must address.
At home, Lille tend to raise their game, and their record against Monaco has been strong in recent years, with Les Dogues unbeaten in their last five Ligue 1 meetings.

Monaco were efficient against Le Havre, with Wissam Ben Yedder and Takumi Minamino leading the attack. They looked solid going forward, but away trips to Lille have been difficult in the past.
Monaco, meanwhile, kicked off their season with a comfortable 3-1 win over Le Havre. Les Rouges et Blancs looked sharp in attack, but a trip to Stade Pierre-Mauroy promises a tougher challenge. With Soungoutou Magassa returning from suspension, they will be stronger defensively, though Denis Zakaria could be unavailable as he edges closer to a move away
Consistency on the road remains a challenge for Adi Hütter’s side.
