Bet on PSG to Earn Easy Win

Lens Also Seeking First Victory

Two games into the Ligue 1 season and PSG isn’t even in the top four. No, I’m not kidding. In fact, the Parisians are four points behind AS Monaco and Stade Brestois, who sit atop the standings.

Even so, Kylian Mbappe and company remain the betting online favorites to win the title at -300.

Bet on PSG to Earn Easy Win

They also come in as the favorites to defeat visiting Lens on Saturday, but it won’t be easy. Lens is offering a +250 price in the sportsbook to finish the season in the top four. In other words, you can expect a hotly contested match.

PSG Heavy Home Favorite for a Reason

No Lionel Messi. No Neymar. No Sergio Ramos. When it comes to PSG in Ligue 1, that doesn’t matter: The Parisians will always be favorites. For their first match of the season, which was against Lorient, they were in control of the Ligue 1 odds thanks to a -245 price. In the end, they drew 0-0.

A week later, they were offering a -145 price to defeat Toulouse on the road. They failed since the match finished 1-1. Now, they’re offering a -175 price to defeat Lens. It seems like not even AS Monaco has a chance to be favorites when facing PSG.

After not winning in his first two games in charge of the team, you can expect head coach Luis Enbrique to make some changes in the starting lineup. He must stop with the nonsense of leaving Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele on the bench.

Regardless of who gets to play, PSG is a good bet at home. The Parisians only lost four of their last 30 Ligue 1 games at Parc des Princes. You can also expect them to score, like they did in seven of their last 10 matches.

PSG’s total for Saturday’s game is set at 1½ goals with the over offering a -170 price in the Ligue 1 lines. Again, not bad since they scored at least two goals in three of their last five home games.

Lens a Feisty Underdog

Yes, Lens is winless but don’t think, not even for a second, that this will be like a walk in the park for PSG. The Blood and Gold opened the season with a 3-2 loss against Stade Brestois on the road. They finished the match with 10 players since Adrien Thomasson was sent off in the second half.

Most recently, they drew 1-1 against Rennes at home. Deiver Machado scored the opener only three minutes into the game. Plus, the Blood and Gold won possession and finished with more shots in total. However, Rennes managed to even the score thanks to a penalty.

A feisty underdog that’s offering a +440 price to win straight up? That’s a great deal since it gives you the chance of winning $440 per every $100 wagered. I mean, Lens is way better than Lorient, which managed to win a point at Parc des Princes.

Win or lose, I expect Lens to put up another good fight, enough to score. The team’s total is set at ½ goals with the over offering a -185 price in the Las Vegas odds. That would be like betting on PSG’s moneyline.

Don’t Bet Against Hosts in Series

Last season, Lens defeated PSG 3-1 at Stade Bollaert-Delelis. The Blood and Gold scored the opener only five minutes into the game. Later, the Parisians took revenge at Parc des Princes with a 3-1 victory as well. Lens lost Salis Abdul Samed due to a red card during the first half.

When it comes to PSG vs Lens, the team playing at home hasn’t lost since the 2014-15 season. You should also keep in mind that the total has gone over three goals in four of their last 10 meetings. Precisely, the total for Saturday’s clash is set at 2½ goals with the over offering a -122 price, which could further improve via Ligue 1 live betting.

PSG vs Lens Betting Picks and Prediction

Yes, Lens will put up a good fight, but Mbappe is back. The Frenchman scored last week and this time will be in the starting lineup alongside Dembele, his buddy from the national team. The two of them will make sure that PSG scores more than 1½ goals, but the team’s handicap is offering a better price.

PSG -1 is -115 and that means that they would need to win by at least two goals. I expect them to cover with a 3-1 victory.
