Paris Saint-Germain, Recent FormIt's fair to say Paris Saint-Germain will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Toulouse, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. Their share of possession in that meeting was 76%, while racking up 16 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Toulouse, who had 8 shots on goal with 2 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 11 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 6 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at Parc des Princes.
PSG will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
Kylian Mbappé is the man of the moment right now and the toast of the fans, having notched up 7 goals in Paris Saint-Germain's last 6 league matches.
Lens, Recent FormA 1-1 draw against Rennes will be viewed as a positive outcome for Lens and a valuable point into the bargain. They achieved 50% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Rennes' tally of 10 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
With 14 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Franck Haise will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 7 goals in the same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 19 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
This squad has enjoyed a decent run of league form on the road of late with 4 wins from their last 6 away matches.
Goalscorer Déiver Machado will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Lens.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Lens who ended up empty-handed, losing 3-1 to Paris Saint-Germain.
Les Sang et Or will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against PSG, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 8 meetings between the two.
Lens has had a poor run in this fixture when they visit PSG, being unable to find a win from any of their last 7 league meetings at Parc des Princes.
Przemysław Frankowski has scored in each of Lens' last league game against PSG.
PSG manager Luis Enrique has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Juan Bernat (Unknown), Presnel Kimpembe (Achilles tendon), Alexandre Letellier (Sprained knee), Nuno Mendes (Hamstring), Nordi Mukiele (Hamstring), Timothée Pembélé (Cruciate ligament) and Sergio Rico (Head) are all currently out of contention for this game.
