Lens are unexpected title challengers in the French Ligue 1 and will hope to take advantage of their home game against the current leaders, PSG in their next game. Lens go into this game on 37 points in second place, seven points behind PSG who are at the top of the standings. Lens returned to league action after the World Cup break with a 0-0 draw with Nice, a result that marked the end of a five-game winning run but they remain unbeaten in the last six games with four clean sheets. In Ligue 1, Lens have suffered just one loss this season, and they face the only unbeaten team in the league. Eight of their last 10 matches have produced under 2.5 goals with seven of the 10 producing clean sheets.

PSG on their part, coming into this game having beaten Strasbourg 2-1 in a laboured win. They had Neymar sent off in that game before Kylian Mbappe scored a late winner. Clearly PSG struggled in that game and they need to get their rhythm back as soon as possible. In their last five matches, they have two clean sheets only. However, apart from their two draws in the 16 league matches, they’ve won all the remaining. PSG have scored two or more in each of their last five league matches, with both teams scoring in three of their last five matches in Ligue 1. This hasn’t been an easy game for PSG in their recent meetings; they have managed just one win in the last four. In their last two meetings with Lens, the matches ended in draws, and Lens have one win in four.
