Lens vs Paris FC Predictions

Home advantage to make all the difference for Lens

Lens have the better back line, having shipped six goals from seven Ligue 1 games compared to Paris conceding 13 from the same number of matches, and a Lens win is the best bet when they host Paris at Stade Bollaert-Delelis on Sunday.

They are three places above Paris in the table, with a three-point advantage. Lens have won four, drawn one and lost two of their seven games this season, while Paris have three wins, one draw and three defeats.

Lens kept up their recent winning trend with a 2-1 win over Auxerre two weeks ago, making it three wins in the three matches in which they have been odds-on this season.

The visitors have shown signs of defensive frailty in recent away games. Paris have conceded eight goals on the road this season in Ligue 1 – an average of two per game from four matches.

Paris’ recent form in Ligue 1 has been up and down, with three wins, one draw and two defeats in their last six games. Their biggest-priced win in that run was when they beat Brest 2-1 at odds of 2/1, but it also included a heavy 5-2 loss to Marseille.

Lens have won three of their last four home games in Ligue 1, and come into this match on the back of two straight successes at home.

The Lens attack has been in good form lately, with the hosts scoring at least twice in four of their last six Ligue 1 games, so take them to win 2-1.
