The poor conversion of opportunities has not only hindered PSG in the Champions League but has also resulted in several away draws in Ligue 1. Paris Saint-Germain boasts a powerful and talented squad, with players capable of making a difference in every match through their exceptional passing, dribbling, and goal-scoring ability.
At times, however, PSG’s style of play can become overly horizontal and passive, making it predictable. Nonetheless, even in these situations, PSGβs players can still showcase their potential and secure valuable points.

It will be interesting to see what lineup Luis Enrique chooses for the match against Lens, especially with the important Champions League match against Atletico coming up. The Spanish coach will likely aim to maximize squad rotation. However, this should not impact the quality of the team’s performance, as PSG boasts excellent squad depth.
Lens
Lens is one of the toughest opponents in Ligue 1. Led by Will Still, the team is tied with Monaco for the fewest goals conceded and ranks in the top three for expected goals against.
This season, Lens has suffered only one defeat, which occurred in the most recent round when Lille unexpectedly scored two goals in injury time at the 90+8 and 90+11 marks. It’s worth noting that Still’s team matched Lille throughout the match, conceding only two goals from three shots on target by their opponents.

At the same time, Lens struggles to score goals, ranking 16th in that category. Their finishing has let them down many times, and they could have actually scored more goals.
In their last four matches against PSG, Lens has consistently lost. However, considering PSG’s focus on the Champions League, it’s possible that Still’s team could earn some points in their upcoming encounter.
Bet hereParis Saint-Germain vs Lens Prediction
- Pick: Total Under 4
- Odds: 1.3 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 Lens
Lens will do everything possible to contain PSG’s powerful attacking lineup. Most of Lensβ matches this season have resulted in fewer than three goals due to Still’s defensive tactics.
However, in three of the last four encounters between these two teams, four goals were scored. Therefore, it is reasonable to choose the option that predicts no more than four goals in their upcoming match.
Paris Saint-Germain vs Lens Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total Shots On Target. Bradley Barcola Over (0.5)
- Odds: 1.33 (22Bet)
Bradley Barcola has scored the most goals this season for PSG, largely due to his teammates frequently creating optimal conditions for him in one-on-one situations in the final third. He effectively utilizes his dribbling skills to get into shooting positions and consistently hits the target.
Even though Lens has a strong defense, Barcola is likely to have at least one shot on target during the match.
