PSG
The Parisians clinched their 7th victory of the current championship (2 draws), defeating Marseille in the last round with a score of 3-0. The capital club's unbeaten streak in Ligue 1 has now extended to 11 matches (9 wins, 2 draws). With the victory over Marseille, PSG increased their lead over the nearest pursuer in the French championship standings to 3 points. Note that the Parisians are also the best home team in the tournament, winning all 4 matches. PSG continues to lead in the list of the best offensive clubs in Ligue 1 with 28 goals scored.
- The club scored at least 3 goals in 7 of their last 9 league matches.
- Both teams scored in 6 of PSG's last 7 Ligue 1 encounters.
- At least 4 goals have been scored in 7 of the Parisians' home matches in this tournament.
Lens
The club suffered its first defeat of the current Ligue 1 season, losing the previous match to Lille with a score of 0-2. Thus, Lens's 11-match unbeaten streak in this tournament (4 wins, 7 draws) came to an end. Nonetheless, the team maintained its 5th position in the French championship standings, though the gap from the leader has now increased to 9 points. Additionally, William Still's charges continue to share the title of the best defensive club of the current season in Ligue 1 with Monaco, having conceded only 6 goals.
- No more than 2 goals were scored in 8 of the team's last 9 league matches.
- Lens scored against their opponents in 22 of their last 25 Ligue 1 encounters.

PSG vs Lens: match prediction
The reigning champion confidently defeated one of their main title rivals in the last round, moreover, on the road. At home in the current championship, PSG is simply unstoppable, winning all 4 matches and scoring at least 3 goals in each. Therefore, I do not envy Lens, which regularly concedes away, failing to keep a clean sheet in 7 of their last 9 Ligue 1 encounters.

I believe that the hosts, who are gaining momentum, will come out on top, continuing their winning streak. I expect at least 2 goals scored by them. My prediction is "PSG to win + Over 1.5 PSG goals" with odds of
