Lens vs PSG Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Les Sang et Or will take on Les Parisiens on matchday 18 in the Ligue 1.

RC Lens will lock horns against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) on Saturday evening. The home team are playing good football and especially they are good at their home ground. They will love to convert the draws into wins as they have dropped points from winning positions this season.

Just like the team from Paris, their style of playing the game is also very similar but their defence has been an issue which they need to work on. With 27 points on board in 17 games, they are seventh in the table and will look to get more points in the upcoming fixtures.

On the other hand, Luis Enrique’s men are sitting at the top spot in the point table of Ligue 1. They have a lead of seven points and will look to increase the lead as Marseille will hope their rival drops points. Les Parisiens are in good form and will look to get another win away from home.

Lens will not be an easy team to beat but the away team has a lot of quality. When PSG were the home team they were able to narrowly beat Lens. They will look to do the same this time as well.

Players to Watch

Andy Diouf (RC Lens)

Diouf is a box-to-box midfielder with playmaking skills, he can play at various positions in midfield. A player with a very good body mass ratio, physical strength, power, stamina and natural fitness who feels comfortable in contact situations. The Frenchman’s energy and anticipation sense enables him to cover a lot of ground, press opponents and start attacks after winning back possession.

His creativity and passing skills allow him to provide good through passes near or even inside the 18-yard opponent’s box. His long-reaching legs are very helpful when tackling and recovering from mistakes. In 17 games he has scored once and provided one assist.

Lee Kang-In (PSG)

The South Korean plays as an attacking midfielder and loves to take the number 10 position to influence the attacking gameplay. His pace also allows him to shift to a wider position and cause problems with his accurate deliveries into the box. He is a versatile player and thrives with the ball on his feet.

Lee’s vision is an asset and he can perform the role of a playmaker brilliantly. With his dribbling ability, he is able to get out of tough situations quite easily. He is still very young and is a key player for the Paris outfit. In 17 games, he has scored six goals and provided three assists.
