Ligue 1 Top Team Faces Close Second
After losing two in a row, PSG returned to the winning column last Saturday, allowing the reigning Ligue 1 champs to remain atop the standings with a six-point advantage over second place. Speaking of second place, Lens hasn’t lost in its last seven games, making it a really tempting Ligue 1 betting underdog. You can stop looking, because this is the Game of the Week.
PSG: Confidence Restored
Prior to defeating Nice 2-0, as we predicted, PSG lost to Rennes and Olympique Lyon at home. The Parisians regained confidence thanks to Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos, who scored against the Eagles. Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma also deserves a lot of credit since Nice finished 21 shots, seven on target.
The club is the top-scoring team in the league with 70 goals. The Parisians also own the second-best defensive unit, allowing 29 goals in 30 games.
Individually, Kylian Mbappe is fighting to win the Golden Boot. He has scored 19 goals, same as Jonathan David from Lille. Messi is also having a great season, enough to lead the league in assists with 14. Both need to be at their best on Saturday since Neymar won’t be available due to injury. and is not expected to return soon.
Regarding the Ligue 1 odds, the Parisians are offering a -145 price to win straight up. Not bad for a team that only lost two of its last 37 Ligue 1 games at home. Plus, winning would practically seal its victory in the title race. That should be motivation enough to go all-in right from the start.
Lens: Go Big or Go Home
Prior to the start of the season, Lens wasn’t among the betting online favorites to win the Ligue 1 title. Clearly, things have changed. The Blood and Gold are one victory away from putting real pressure on PSG.
On Friday, it defeated Strasbourg 2-1, with Przemyslaw Frankowski and Facundo Medina as the scorers. Lens controlled the match from start to end, winning possession with 55% and finishing with nine shots on goal.
Lens isn’t among the top scoring teams but has the best defensive unit, only conceding 22 goals and finishing with a clean sheet in three of its last five games. Two of those matches were on the road.
The visitors are offering a +360 price in the sportsbook to win straight up. Considering they’ve only lost one of their last 10 road games, that’s a pretty good deal.
PSG vs Lens Head-to-Head
PSG has lost five Ligue 1 games. One of those defeats was against Lens. Against the Las Vegas Ligue 1 odds, Lens won 3-1, with Przemyslaw Frankowski, Lois Openda and Alexis Claude-Maurice as the scorers.
Believe it or not, the Parisians have only won one of their last five meetings against Lens. Their last encounter at Parc des Princes finished 1-1, and both teams scored in seven of their last 10 meetings.

PSG vs Lens Picks and Prediction
If PSG has Mbappe, Lens has Openda. The Belgian striker has scored 15 goals. He’ll make sure his team puts up a good fight. With two of the league’s top scorers on the field, I have no other option than advising you to bet on the total going over, which offers a +110 price in the Ligue 1 lines. There’s no way the Parisians go three straight home games without scoring, and Lens scored in nine of its last 10 road games.
PSG is listed at -145 in our Vegas Ligue 1 lines. This means that if you wager $100 on PSG, you have a chance to win $69. Lens is +360, offering a chance to win $360 on a $100 wager.
The implied probability attached to the betting lines gives PSG a 59.18% chance to win, with Lens at 21.74%.
