Command Analysis

Lens

Current form

Lens won at Le Havre in the last round, but it was not easy. Will Still men were the first to concede, and this happened in the eighth minute. They managed to equalize in the 28th minute, and the game smoothly moved to the center of the field. Only in the second half, in the 77th minute, they managed to score the second goal, and, as it turned out, the winning one. After 17 rounds played, the hosts of the upcoming match are in seventh place in the national championship. The gap from the European Cup place is only one point, so there is no time to slow down in terms of play.

Disqualifications and injuries

Chavez, Lascari, Satriano, Aguilar, Said are injured and Danso is disqualified.

Interesting trends for betting

Lens have lost their last two matches at home
The visitors have conceded in the last four matches

Probable line-up: Koffi - Frankovski, Medina, Sarr, Machado - Thomasson, Diouf - Sotoka, Fulgini, Zaruri - Koyalipu.

Paris Saint-Germain

Current form

PSG seems to be playing steadily - three wins in three matches played in 2025, but the advantage of the club over its opponents was not as big as everyone expected. In the first match, they managed to win the Super Cup against Monaco in added time (1:0), then there was a tense game with Saint-Etienne in the national championship (2:1), and the last match the Parisians played against the unknown Espali in the French Cup. There they managed to win with an advantage of two goals, but at the same time they conceded twice. There are important matches in the Champions League ahead, where they need to win exclusively to reach the playoffs, so Luis Enrique charges need to play more reliably, especially in defense.

Disqualifications and injuries

Mbaye and Marquinhos are injured and will not take to the field.

Interesting trends for betting

PSG won all matches in 2025
The visitors have scored in the last seven matches

Probable line-up: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Pacho, L. Hernandez, Mendes – Neves, Vitinha, Zaire-Emery – Dembele, Ramos, Doue.

Tip and bets

Tipboth will score

1.60

It hasn't been a month since the teams played each other in the French Cup. Then, the regular time ended with a score of 1:1. PSG will most likely not give it their all in the upcoming match, since on January 22, the Parisians have a crucial match with Manchester City in the Champions League on their home field. Given this factor, we are inclined to think that the hosts will be able to score at least one goal, but they will not leave their goal intact.

Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.60

Will the prediction win?

TipPSG win

1.76

Bet on the outcome

No matter how hard Lens tries, the club is still far from PSG level. Although we expect a cautious game from the Parisians, they are unlikely to lose points with a club that lost to Toulouse (0:1), which is not in the top six European Cups, in its last home match.

Our prediction is PSG victory with odds of 1.76

Bet on corners

In head-to-head encounters, the teams do not sit in their penalty area for long. In the three previous head-to-head games, there were no fewer than nine corners taken between the two teams. We believe that this number of corners will be taken this time as well.

Our prediction is total over 8.5 corners for 1.78

Will the prediction win?
