Lens vs PSG Prediction 18 January 2025

🔊 Can Lens stand up to such a formidable opponent? In the 18th round of Ligue 1, the "blood and gold" will face PSG, who are performing perfectly in the championship. Recently, the Parisians have hardly stumbled, with six wins in their last seven matches. However, Lens will be highly motivated due to their desire for revenge after being knocked out of the Coupe de France. Our editorial team has already made a prediction for the upcoming clash.

📊 H2H

In head-to-head encounters, PSG is significantly ahead, with five wins in the last ten matches. Lens has managed to win only twice during this time. Moreover, the Parisians have won four of the previous five meetings between these teams. Therefore, one might consider betting on a PSG Win.

🟡 Lens

Lens continues to fight for a spot in the European competition zone but is not performing very consistently. In the previous three rounds, the "blood and gold" secured only one victory, causing them to drop to seventh place in the Ligue 1 standings. The team's attacking line often lets them down: scoring 21 goals in 17 rounds indicates that there are indeed problems with converting chances.

This is not surprising, as the club faces significant challenges in selecting players for the attacking line. Lens has midfielders El-Aynaoui and forwards Saïd, Labo Lascari, and Satriano on their injury list.

🔵 PSG

The Parisians continue their confident march towards another championship title. They rarely drop points in the league, easily securing victories in the last three rounds. Their lead over their closest competitor, Marseille, is now seven points, which is quite substantial for mid-season. Enrique's team is in such good form that few can stop them.

It is also pleasing that almost all PSG players are fit and ready to help the team achieve great heights. Currently, only defender Marquinhos is in the club's infirmary.

⚽️ Goal Prediction

PSG plays very productively and rarely manages to keep a clean sheet. In five of their last seven matches, at least three goals were scored. So we can expect a successful bet on Total goals over 2.5.

🚩 Corner Prediction

Paris Saint-Germain dominates this aspect in almost every match; in eight of their last nine matches, this team has surpassed their opponent in corner kicks by at least twice. In their previous game against Lens, the Parisians won corners 6:3. Therefore, we recommend betting on PSG to win corners with a handicap (-1.5).

📝 Match Prediction

It's not easy to form a clear impression of Lens in the 2024/25 season. The team clearly isn't showing its best qualities and often drops points in unexpected situations. PSG is currently performing very stably and confidently, so the French league leader has every chance of taking three points from "Bollaert-Delelis". We predict that the match will end with a 2:1 victory for PSG.

One should expect a high-scoring game here. The Parisians rarely perform poorly in attack and even more rarely defend reliably. So there could be many goals from both sides. Our editorial team believes that it's worth betting on Total goals over 2.5.
