Overview
PSG just defeated Marseille 3-0 away last weekend. After 9 rounds of Ligue 1 this year, they are still unbeaten with 7 wins, 2 draws and leading the rankings with 23 points.
Despite their inconsistent form in the Champions League, Luis Enrique's side have dominated domestically. They remain unbeaten this season and have won all their home games.
Since the start of the Ligue 1 season, PSG have scored a total of 28 goals and conceded only 8. Winger Bradley Barcola has shown his killer instinct with 8 goals in 9 matches, leading the scoring list of the tournament. Besides Barcola, the Parc Des Princes team still has Ousmane Dembele, Lee Kang-in as well as Joao Neves playing excellently.
Meanwhile, Lens have had a lot of problems since the beginning of the season. Coach Will Still's team lost to Panathinaikos after 2 play-off matches, thereby losing their ticket to the Conference League.
In Ligue 1, Lens have won just one of their last seven games, most recently a 0-2 defeat to Lyon. Their attack has only scored nine goals so far, a number only slightly better than the three teams at the bottom of the table.
PSG have won 21, lost 14 and drawn 11 of their last 46 meetings with Lens. The Parisian side have won the last three meetings and did the double last season. They won 3-1 at the Parc des Princes before winning 2-0 away in the return leg.
