Statistically, Lens seems favored, but Paris FC's attack could make this a tight match. Who will come out on top?

Lens: Form and Statistics

Lens is playing very well at home, having won their last two games at Stade Bollaert-Delelis. One of those wins was a strong 3-0 win over Lille. They have won four of their last six games in all competitions, drawn one, and lost one. The only loss was to PSG, the defending champions. Lens has not lost in their last three Ligue 1 matches. This includes impressive wins over Lille (3-0) and Auxerre (2-1), the latter of which they won even though they only had ten men at the end of the game. They are only three points behind PSG and could move into the top four this weekend if things go their way. Lens will be without Ismaelo Ganiou, who is out because he got a red card against Auxerre. Lens wants to get back to Europe in 2026 after finishing eighth last season, just one spot short of qualifying. They won their last away game, 2-1 at Auxerre, to keep their unbeaten streak going. Odsonne Edouard and Abdallah Sima scored goals that helped them win all three points. Lens is now sixth in the league, three points behind PSG, who is at the top. They have seven points from their last three games. Florian Thauvin, who played for France during the international break, has been one of Lens's most important players this season. So far this season, the 32-year-old has scored two goals in seven Ligue 1 games.

This season, Paris FC has been good at scoring, with an average of 1.71 goals per game. That's the fifth-best record in Ligue 1, with 12 goals so far. That's great for a team that just got promoted. But their defense has been a problem. They are letting in 1.86 goals per game, which is the second-worst in the league. In seven games, they've only kept one clean sheet. Still, they've been playing well lately, with only one loss in their last five games. They lost 3-2 to Strasbourg in a close game. But away games have been hard, with only one win in four games on the road. Sofiane Alakouch won't be able to play for the team in this game.

Lens is likely to win because they have a strong defense at home, a good record of scoring goals, and have been playing well lately. Paris FC will have chances, but their defense often lets in goals, which a team like Lens could take advantage of.
