Pronostic Lens – PSG

The duel between RC Lens and Paris Saint-Germain promises to be one of the highlights of this 18th day. Saturday at 5 p.m., the Stade Bollaert-Delelis will host a clash between two teams with very different dynamics.

PSG, solid leader with 43 points and a comfortable lead of 7 points over their runner-up Marseille, moves into hostile terrain with the firmness that characterizes its course this season. Luis Enrique’s team, undefeated in its last five matches, will nevertheless have to deal with three absences for this delicate trip.

Opposite, the Lensois, currently 7th with 27 points, seem to be regaining color after their victory against Le Havre (2-1). But the winter transfer window is shaking up the backstage of the Artesian club, notably marked by the surprise departure of its emblematic goalkeeper Brice Samba. This period of turbulence does not help matters for Will Still, who will have to mobilize his troops to try to fill the small point that separates them from Lyon, 6th.

The stakes are high for the Sang et Or who, despite these upheavals in the squad, maintain their formidable offensive efficiency at home. A victory would allow them to continue their climb towards European places, an objective clearly stated by the club for this second part of the season.

Lens – PSG: History of confrontations

The last five confrontations between RC Lens and Paris Saint-Germain paint a clear picture in favor of the Parisians. PSG remains on a series of 4 consecutive victories, only interrupted by the draw (1-1) in the Coupe de France in December 2024, a meeting finally won on penalties by Luis Enrique’s men.

Parisian domination is particularly evident in the first half, with an active series of 4 matches where PSG systematically opened the score before the break, while Lens has not found the net in the first half in the last 5 meetings.

Scores are generally prolific, with at least two goals scored in 80% of matches. PSG has also scored at least one goal during each of these confrontations, a series which runs over the last 5 matches.

The last two Parisian visits to Bollaert ended in Parisian victories (0-2 in January 2024 and 1-0 in November 2024), demonstrating a real difficulty for Lensois in thwarting their opponent, even in their den.

These statistics reflect true Parisian supremacy in recent direct confrontations, including two 3-1 successes at the Parc des Princes in 2023 which left their mark.

Lens: News and form

At the start of 2025, RC Lens is in encouraging form despite some up-and-down results. The recent away victory against Le Havre (2-1) demonstrates a newfound resilience, allowing the Sang et Or to climb to 7th place in the championship.

At a turning point in his season

This position keeps them in the race for European places, with only one point behind Lyon. The match against Le Havre notably highlighted the team’s ability to reverse a compromised situation.

Still the same heart, but new faces must emerge

However, the defeat at home against Toulouse (0-1) and the elimination in the Coupe de France against PSG on penalties (1-1, 3-4) at the beginning of January still reveal some weaknesses. The club is currently going through a period of transition, marked by several movements during the winter transfer window, notably the significant departure of emblematic goalkeeper Brice Samba.

Beat Paris, finally

The statistics of the last five matches (2 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss) illustrate a certain stability, with a team which scores regularly (80% of matches) but sometimes struggles to maintain its advantages, particularly in the second half where we see a tendency for close scores (80% of second periods with less than 1.5 goals).

Lens – Key Points

• Resilience regained : An important away victory against Le Havre (2-1) allows the club to revive and occupy 7th place, one point behind the European places.
• Form in transition : A balanced series (2 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss) which reflects a certain stability despite contrasting results.
• Ability to reverse situations : The team shows character, as evidenced by the success against Le Havre after a complicated scenario.
• Persistent fragility : An elimination in the Coupe de France against PSG and a defeat against Toulouse at home (0-1) highlight areas for improvement.
• Workforce transition : The departure of goalkeeper Brice Samba marks a turning point, with new responsibilities for the winter recruits.
• Tendency to close scores : 80% of second periods see less than 1.5 goals, illustrating tense endings to the match.

Lens: The last five matches

Compositions probables Lens

In 4-2-3-1, Koffi would keep the goals, protected by Frankowski, Gradit, Medina and Machado in defense. The Diouf-Thomasson duo would occupy the defensive midfield, while Sotoca, Fulgini and Zaroury would lead the attack behind Koyalipou up front.

PSG: News and form

Paris Saint-Germain is going through a particularly prosperous period, as evidenced by its impressive series of four consecutive victories in all competitions. Luis Enrique’s team displays remarkable mastery, notably illustrated by its recent 4-2 victory against Espaly in the Coupe de France and its 2-1 success against Saint-Étienne in the championship. PSG also won the Champions Trophy against Monaco (1-0), demonstrating its ability to manage important meetings.

Still undefeated in Ligue 1

Parisian offensive strength is manifested by formidable consistency: the team has scored in each of its last five matches, with an average of more than two goals per match. Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé are particularly impactful, while the precision of the passes from Achraf Hakimi and João Neves contribute to the fluidity of the team game.

Sometimes sluggish, sometimes brilliant

Leader of Ligue 1 with 43 points and a comfortable lead of 7 points over their runner-up Marseille, PSG seems to have found its cruising speed. The offensive philosophy of play advocated by Luis Enrique is bearing fruit, even if the team still concedes goals (in 80% of its last matches). This slight defensive fragility is, however, offset by remarkable offensive efficiency and an ability to make the difference in key moments, as illustrated by the qualification on penalties against Lens in the Coupe de France.

Need to build confidence

This positive dynamic suggests an ambitious PSG for the rest of the season, even if the team will have to remain vigilant to maintain this level of performance, particularly as the European deadlines approach.

PSG – Key Points

• Current series : Four consecutive victories in all competitions, demonstrating great consistency.
• Formidable offensive force : Average of more than 2 goals per match over the last five matches, driven by Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé.
• Collective mastery : The fluidity of the game relies on key players like Achraf Hakimi and João Neves, decisive in the offensive construction.
• Leader solide : With 43 points in Ligue 1, PSG dominates the ranking, ahead of Marseille by 7 points.
• Relative defensive fragility : The team has conceded goals in 80% of its last matches, a point to improve before the major European meetings.
• Significant success : Important victories, notably in the Coupe de France against Lens on penalties and the Champions Trophy against Monaco (1-0).
• Ability to handle pressure : PSG proves its mental strength, responding presently in key moments.

PSG: The last five matches

Probable PSG lineups

Luis Enrique should opt for a 4-3-3. Donnarumma would keep the goals, protected by Hakimi, Škriniar, Beraldo and Hernández. The midfield would be led by Zaire-Emery, Vitinha and Fabián Ruiz, while in attack, Dembélé, Ramos and Barcola would form the attacking trio.
