PSG is hosting RC Lens at Parc des Princes in round 34 of the French Ligue 1. PSG is on a nice 4-game winning streak right now, they are scoring a ton of goals, and they will win yet another title in France. Lens is still fighting for the Europa League, and they are still close, and if they keep playing like they are now, Lens might get to Europe.

PSG has been in really good form when it comes to scoring goals, and during their 4-game winning streak, they have scored 16 goals, which is an average of 4 scored goals per game. Defensively, PSG has been anything but good this season, and they have conceded in 4 of their last 5 games in Ligue 1. Yes, PSG wanted to win the Champions League, and they were solid in the group stage, but they got knocked out by Real Madrid in the knockouts. As I’ve mentioned, PSG will win another title, which will be a nice parting gift for Mbappe will probably go to Real Madrid at the end of this season. Mbappe has been brilliant for PSG this season with 23 goals and 15 assists, while Neymar has added 11 goals. Messi has 13 assists. Diallo, Draxler, Paredes, and Icardi are injured, while Michut is suspended. Messi should be back for this game. I think PSG has to change their club politics, they need to invest more in their youth academy, and maybe then they will win the Champions League.

Lens is on a nice run as well, and they have won their last 3 games in a row. Lens might be in 7th place right now, but they are only 3 points away from the Champions League, and they will not give up getting there. Lens has scored 52 goals so far this season, Kalimuendo is their leading goalscorer with 10 goals. Clauss has added 9 assists. Defensively, Lens hasn’t been bad, definitely far from the worst defensive team in the league, but a little more consistency and focus on the defensive end wouldn’t hurt. After this game against PSG, Lens has a decent schedule until the end of the season, and I think they can win at least 3 of their last 5 games, which might be enough for the Europa League next season.

PSG is still undefeated at home this season, and I think it will stay that way. Lens has had success against PSG, but mostly at home. I see PSG having another good game here, another dominant performance where they will create a lot of chances and score a few goals.
