Lens vs PSG: The hosts to put up resistance

Lens will take on PSG in round 17 of the French Ligue 1. Let’s see how the opponents are doing and what’s best to bet on.

Lens lost the opportunity to earn points in the last match. They faced one of the main outsiders of the championship, Clermont. The encounter was undoubtedly bright, but the winner was not decided (2-2). On approaching the upcoming match, Lens sits 5th in the table, one point behind Nice. If they keep losing points like that, it won’t take long for Strasbourg to take their place.

PSG have already forgotten what competition is. The Parisians are first in the standings, and the gap from the second Marseille is as much as 12 points. We doubt that PSG will lose such a comfortable advantage. In the last five rounds, the club got four wins – 2-1 over Lille, 3-2 over Bordeaux, 3-1 over Nantes, and 3-1 over Saint-Etienne, and they also shared points with strong Nice (0-0) in the last match.

Lens will have a hard time against PSG, but the home advantage will play a role. Although the hosts won one match out of the last five, they scored nine goals, while the Parisians conceded five (an average of one conceded per game). We suggest you take a risk and play for Lance.
