Betting on PSG
PSG’s recent losses against Rennes (0-2) and Lyon (0-1) have put them in a tight spot, but they managed to bounce back with a win against Nice (0-2), maintaining their six-point lead over Lens. A win in their upcoming match against Lens could be the key to sealing the league title once and for all.
It goes without saying that Lionel Messi has been instrumental in PSG’s success, quite possibly the team’s best player at the moment, with crucial goals and assists to his name. However, their defense has been a problem, with Danilo and Marquinhos committing costly errors that have led to defeats.
The Ligue 1 title is the only tournament left for PSG to fight for this season, as they’ve been eliminated from the Champions League by Bayern Munich and knocked out of the Coupe de France by Marseille. This puts extra pressure on Galtier’s team to deliver the goods and avoid a nightmare scenario of finishing the season empty-handed.
Possible Lineup (3-5-2): Gianluigi Donnarumma; Marquinhos, Sergio Ramos, Danilo; Achraf Hakimi, Vitinha, Renato Sanches, Carlos Soler, Nuno Mendes; Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé.
Betting on Lens
They are unbeaten in seven league games and have won four in a row, and if that were not enough, a win against PSG would reduce the title race to just three points with seven games left to play. In addition, they could win their first Ligue 1 since the 1997-98 season.
Under Franck Haise’s leadership, Lens has emerged as a strong team that is currently fighting for the Ligue 1 title and a spot in the Champions League. Their last two victories were hard-fought, but they managed to grind out the results they needed.
In their match against Rennes, they held on to a slim 1-0 lead against a team that attacked relentlessly throughout the game. Their most recent match against Strasbourg (2-1) was another example of their good fortune, as they went from comfortably leading the game to almost squandering their advantage due to the visitors’ pressure.
Possible Lineup (3-4-3): Brice Samba; Jonathan Samba; Jonathan Gradit, Kevin Danso, Facundo Medina; Florian Sotoca, Salis Abdul Samed, Seko Fofana, Przemyslaw Frankowski; Adrien Thomasson, Lois Openda, Angelo Fulgini.
JefeBet Prediction
Lens has had a decent away record this season, with five victories in 15 matches, but they’ll be facing one of the strongest home teams in PSG, who have only lost two matches at home (although these losses were recent). In their previous encounter this season, which took place in round 17 at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis, Lens managed a 3-1 win over PSG.
Although Lens knows how to beat PSG, we believe that Lionel Messi will once again be the key player and instrumental in securing a crucial victory for his team. This may be his last season with the French club, and what better way to go out than as the league champion.
Prediction: PSG 2-1 Lens.
