PSG
Parisians claimed their 7th victory of the current championship (2 draws), defeating Marseille 3-0 last round. The capital club's unbeaten streak in Ligue 1 has extended to 11 games (9 wins, 2 draws). Thanks to the victory over Marseille, PSG has increased their lead over the nearest pursuer in the French championship standings to 3 points. It's worth noting that Parisians are the best home team in the tournament, winning all 4 matches. PSG also leads the Ligue 1 top scoring clubs list with 28 goals.
- The club has scored at least 3 goals against opponents in 7 out of 9 previous league encounters.
- Both teams have scored in 6 of the last 7 PSG matches in Ligue 1.
- At least 4 goals have been scored in 7 home matches for the Parisians in this tournament.
Lens
The club suffered its first defeat of the current Ligue 1 season, losing to Lille 0-2 in the previous match. Thus, Lens' 11-match unbeaten streak in this tournament (4 wins, 7 draws) was snapped. Nonetheless, the team maintained 5th place in the French championship standings, but the gap to the leader has now increased to 9 points. Also, William Still's men continue to share the status of the best defensive club of the current season with Monaco, conceding only 6 goals.
- No more than 2 goals have been scored in 8 of the last 9 team matches in the French championship.
- Lens has scored against opponents in 22 out of the last 25 encounters in Ligue 1.
- The club's unbeaten away streak in the elite French division is 6 matches (2 wins, 4 draws).
PSG vs. Lens: match prediction
The reigning champions confidently defeated one of the main competitors for the title in the last round, and at home in the current championship, PSG is simply unstoppable: they have won all 4 matches and scored at least 3 goals in each. Lens, meanwhile, regularly concedes on the road, failing to keep a clean sheet in 7 out of the last 9 Ligue 1 encounters. And the club has only managed to win twice in the nine previous away matches in the French championship.
In addition, the team from Lens has lost to Parisians in the last 3 head-to-head Ligue 1 meetings, conceding at least two goals in each. I believe that the hosts, who are on a winning streak, will prevail again, continuing their victorious series. I also expect at least two goals scored by them. My prediction is "Home Win + Home Team Over 1.5 Goals" at odds of .
