Lens come into this with a decent recent league return, but the data also shows Paris Saint Germain have been more consistent across their last five in all competitions. Lens have scored in four of their last five league matches, yet they have also conceded in four of those games, which suggests PSG should get chances if they move the ball well. Paris Saint Germain’s recent results include three wins in five league games and they have also been scoring regularly, so the away side look the more reliable pick on the numbers provided.
Lens at Stade Bollaert-Delelis can still make this competitive if they keep the game tight early and use their front line efficiently. PSG’s recent head-to-head edge is clear, though, with four wins in the last five meetings and Lens failing to beat them in that run. Match Prediction: Lens 1-2 Paris Saint Germain
Form Guide & Team Overview
Lens
Lens have taken seven points from their last five league matches, with wins over Nantes and Toulouse, plus draws against Nice and Brest. The 3-3 draw at Brest and the 3-2 win over Toulouse show they have been involved in open games, while the 0-3 loss at LOSC Lille is the clearest setback in that run.
Across all competitions, Lens have still been producing results, including a 4-1 Coupe de France win over Toulouse. The recent pattern is fairly mixed, but they have avoided defeat in four of their last five matches in all competitions, which points to a side that is competitive even when not fully controlling games.

Paris Saint Germain
Paris Saint Germain have collected ten points from their last five league matches, with wins over Angers SCO and Nantes, plus a draw with Lorient and a loss to Olympique Lyonnais. They have scored three goals in three of those five league games, which underlines a strong attacking return even when results have not always been perfect.
In all competitions, PSG’s form remains solid, with the Champions League results against FC Bayern München adding to that picture. The 2-2 draw with Lorient is the only recent league match where they did not win or score at least twice, so the data still points to a side carrying plenty of threat.

Lineups & Tactical Setup
Lens (3-4-2-1)
Predicted lineup: Robin Risser (Goalkeeper), Ismaëlo Ganiou (Defender), Malang Sarr (Defender), Samson Baidoo (Defender), Abdallah Sima (Midfielder), Amadou Haidara (Midfielder), Andrija Bulatovic (Midfielder), Matthieu Udol (Midfielder), Odsonne Édouard (Attacker), Rayan Fofana (Attacker), Wesley Saïd (Attacker)
Lens’ predicted 3-4-2-1 should give them a compact base with wing support from midfield, which can help them stay organised against PSG’s front line. The two players behind the striker can then look to connect quickly into Odsonne Édouard and the wide runners when Lens win the ball.
Paris Saint Germain (4-3-3)
Predicted lineup: Renato Marin (Goalkeeper), Lucas Beraldo (Defender), Lucas Hernández (Defender), Senny Mayulu (Defender), Willian Pacho (Defender), Fabián Ruiz (Midfielder), Kang-in Lee (Midfielder), Pedro Fernández (Midfielder), Bradley Barcola (Attacker), Désiré Doué (Attacker), Ibrahim Mbaye (Attacker)
Paris Saint Germain’s predicted 4-3-3 gives them a familiar attacking structure, with width from the front three and control through midfield. That shape should also allow Fabián Ruiz and the other central midfielders to dictate tempo while Bradley Barcola and the other forwards attack the spaces behind Lens’ back line.
Key Battles & Players to Watch
| Lens | Paris Saint Germain | Key Battle Overview |
|---|---|---|
| Lens | Paris Saint Germain | Odsonne Édouard will need to work against Lucas Beraldo’s positioning and passing from the back if Lens are to turn pressure into chances. |
| Lens | Paris Saint Germain | Abdallah Sima’s role in midfield could be important against Fabián Ruiz, especially if Lens want to disrupt PSG’s rhythm and stop clean build-up. |
| Lens | Paris Saint Germain | Odsonne Édouard is key for Lens because the recent lineups show him as a central attacking outlet, and Lens have been using him in a side that has scored in four of their last five league matches. |
| Lens | Paris Saint Germain | Bradley Barcola is key for Paris Saint Germain because he has featured in the recent 4-3-3 lineups and PSG’s recent results show they have been creating enough to give their attackers regular chances. |
