Ligue 1 Matchday 2 features Monaco vs Marseille and Strasbourg vs Lens

Ligue 1 enters its second matchday with several high-profile matchups scheduled for late August 2026.

AS Monaco is set to host Olympique de Marseille at Stade Louis II. Monaco enters the match following a 1-0 victory over Le Havre and a recent 4-1 win in the UEFA Conference League. Marseille arrives in strong form after a 4-0 win against Strasbourg, though they will be playing with ten men following a red card to Samir El Mourabet in their previous fixture.

In another key matchup, RC Strasbourg will face RC Lens at Stade de la Meinau. Strasbourg is looking to recover from a heavy 4-0 loss to Marseille, while Lens aims to maintain momentum after a 5-2 victory over Auxerre. Lens, the previous season's runners-up, currently sits near the top of the table, whereas Strasbourg struggles at the bottom following a difficult season opener.
