Team Form and Analysis:
Paris Saint-Germain enters this match in sensational form, boasting a perfect record with three wins from three matches. The reigning champions are coming off a dominant 6-3 away victory over Toulouse and will be looking to maintain their perfect record and put themselves in a strong position in the early title race. Under manager Luis Enrique, PSG has shown an unstoppable attack, with star players like Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé in excellent form. The hosts have been particularly formidable at home, with nine consecutive home wins in Ligue 1.
RC Lens, meanwhile, has also had a strong start to the season with two wins and a draw in their first three matches. The visitors are coming off an excellent 3-1 home victory over Brest and will be looking to prove their quality on the road against their rivals. Under manager Franck Haise, Lens has shown a well-organized defensive structure and a resilient style of play. They will be eager to capitalize on any mistakes and get a positive result in this tough away fixture.
Head-to-Head:
The historical head-to-head record between these two clubs is in favor of Paris Saint-Germain, who have won 18 of their 43 competitive meetings. However, in recent encounters, the record has been more balanced. PSG has won just one of their last five league meetings against Lens, with two wins for Lens and two draws. The last time the two sides met, in April, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Player to Watch:
PSG: All eyes will be on their key attacking players, particularly Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé. Mbappé has been in sensational goal-scoring form, while Dembélé has been a creative force with his dribbling and vision.
Lens: The focus for Lens will be on their key attacking players, including Florian Sotoca and Elye Wahi. Sotoca has been a consistent goal threat, while Wahi has been a dynamic forward who will be a constant threat to the PSG defense.
Prediction:
Given PSG’s perfect form, their superior squad quality, and their dominant home record, they are the clear favorites to win this match. However, the last few encounters between these two sides have been tightly contested. Lens will be highly motivated to prove their quality and will not be an easy opponent. A comfortable home victory for PSG seems like a very likely outcome.
