Lens vs PSG – Ligue 1 Betting Tips

Lens welcomes the current star-studded league leaders in what looks like a mission impossible match for them. Lens has had an interesting burst to life in the Ligue 1 this season, scoring a whopping 29 goals. However, the hope has been diminishing, and they have conceded 8 goals in 3 matches. 

PSG are the league leaders, and they have already started running away with the league. The 12 points ahead of the second place and minus their draw during the midweek, they don’t seem to be slowing down.

Our Tipsters Angle

Though PSG has been unconvincing in their matches, they have still managed to win their games in Ligue 1. Lens had a good start of the season through their attacking displays, but now it seems like they have lost touch on how to go about it. 

On their H2H, the last 5 matches between these two sides have seen PSG win 3, lose 1, and draw 1 against Lens. Below are our tips for the game. 

Tip 1: PSG Win

After analyzing this match and their team strengths, this is the most apparent option. PSG has too much firepower, and their defense has been doing an excellent job at reducing the number of goals the opposition would have scored. 

PSG has won 13 games, drawn 2, and lost just 1 in Ligue 1 this season. Also, in their previous meetings against Lens, they have won 3 out of 5. PSG to win is available at Casumo Sportsbook with 1.67 odds.

Tip 2: Over 2.5 Goals

Lens and PSG are two teams that haven’t been goal-shy this season. Since the start of the season, Lens have scored 25 goals, and in their last 3 games, they have conceded 8 goals. PSG’s last 5 games have Over 2.5 goals in 4 of them.

We think that Lens might be able to score PSG, but PSG will win the match, or PSG will heavily exploit the current porous Lens backline and thrash them 3-0+. 

At Casumo sportsbook, Over 2.5 is placed at 1.53 odds.  

Conclusion

PSG looks like the stronger team to win this match, and the gap between the squad of the two sides speaks volumes. Lens has been exciting to watch this season because of their attacking displays. 

While this match looks like an easy win for PSG, it can go both ways, but whichever the outcome, this match is already the must-watch game in Ligue 1 this weekend.
