PSG vs Lens Betting Tips

PSG vs Lens Prediction 1: PSG to Win

PSG leads Ligue 1 by 15 points and is the team to beat because of this. Four victories in a row have increased their already insurmountable advantage at the top, and they will now welcome Lens to the Parc des Princes with the hopes of making it five straight victories. Given that the hosts' ailments are mounting, this one could not be straightforward. The team of Mauricio Pochettino may be without up to ten players. Lionel Messi, Marco Verratti, Presnel Kimpembe, Layvin Kurzawa, and Leandro Paredes are all anticipated to be out of this game, giving Lens a chance to profit.

PSG vs Lens Betting Tips

Lens has had a fantastic season, and as we go closer to the finish line, they are only three points behind the top European teams. Yet, a major part of it may be attributed to their excellent home performance, as they have lost only three times in their 17 Ligue 1 home games. Les Sang et Or have gone unbeaten in nine of their 16 games played away from home and are certain they can cause a lot of issues for this weakened PSG team.

PSG vs Lens Prediction 2: Both teams to score

Lens has been one of the season's biggest surprises, and they'll want to keep things close as they go for a shock victory. We anticipate goals at both ends of the field and favor both teams to score, but we also anticipate at least three goals overall in what could be a thrilling match in the French capital.
