PSG vs Lens prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-09-13 15:15.
[p]PSG have begun their quest for a fifth successive Ligue 1 crown in impeccable fashion, and they’ll put their perfect start on the line when they host Lens.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]After lifting the UEFA Super Cup, PSG have won all three of their matches in Ligue 1 this season, but after a pair of 1-0 wins over Nantes and Angers, they’ll be especially happy about breaking the shackles in their 6-3 win over Toulouse last time out. Despite suffering attacking injuries over the international break, Luis Enrique’s men will be confident of keeping their winning streak going here as they’ve scored in each of their last 34 Ligue 1 home games, which is just one short of their all-time record in the top-flight. They may have to do it without Enrique on the sidelines, as the PSG boss requires surgery after a cycling accident.[/p]
[p]Lens have recovered nicely from an opening day defeat to Lyon, beating Le Havre and Brest to put themselves amongst the early pacesetters. New manager Pierre Sage is looking to guide the Blood and Gold to their first set of three successive league wins since February 2024, and while this is the most fearsome away day in France, Lens have thrived on the road in recent times, losing just four Ligue 1 games away from home since the start of last season (W9, D5).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Recent history has solely belonged to PSG, who have won all of the last six H2Hs, though the last three were decided by no greater than a one-goal margin. [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]The second half has been higher scoring than the first in four of PSG’s last five league matches. [/p]
[p]Ten of PSG’s last 12 home Ligue 1 games saw both teams score. [/p]
[p]The same half-time result has been replicated at full-time in eight of Lens’ last nine matches.[/p]
[p]Lens have conceded exactly once in all of their last four away league games.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]PSG’s Bradley Barcola directly contributed to a goal in both of France’s games in the international break (G1, A1), while he’s registered four goal involvements in his last three league games against Lens (G2, A2). Lens’ Morgan Guilavogui could prove dangerous off the bench since eight of his last 11 club goals have come after half-time, a run which includes a goal at the Parc de Princes against PSG.[/p]
[p]PSG will have the huge names of Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué who were injured on international duty, while Lens are missing Deiver Machado.[/p]

[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]With PSG losing Dembélé and Doué, there’s a chance that goals come at a premium so under 3.5 goals scored seems to be an enticing market.[/p]
