Lens host a Paris FC side flying high in third, but the hosts have won both recent meetings between the clubs, including a 5-0 rout last season, in a Ligue 1 clash with kick-off at 7.45pm (UK time) on Saturday.
Anthony Eadson’s Lens vs Paris FC predictions, best bets and score prediction are below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson expects goals at a raucous Bollaert and fancies the hosts’ main man to be involved.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Florian Thauvin to score anytime | 12/5 (Ladbrokes) | Thauvin has been Lens’s main man with three goals and has started all seven league games, pulling the strings in a side that has already scored 14 times this season. Paris FC have kept only three clean sheets and will have to open up as the game wears on, which should give the Frenchman time and space to find the net. With Lens scoring freely at home and carrying a real threat, their leading man looks a solid bet at 12/5 with Ladbrokes to get on the scoresheet. |
| Over 12.5 total corners | 16/5 (Ladbrokes) | Two attack-minded sides who both like to get forward should make for an open, stretched game, the sort that produces a healthy corner count at both ends of the pitch. Lens will push hard at a raucous Bollaert while Paris FC carry their own threat on the break, forcing plenty of defensive scrambles. Both of these teams have featured in plenty of open, high-scoring games already this season, which only helps the case. The 12.5 line is ambitious but reachable in a game this open, and Ladbrokes’ 16/5 is the best price for the over. |

How Lens go into the game
Lens sit eighth but have been involved in plenty of goals, scoring 14 and conceding 11 in seven games. Florian Thauvin leads the way with three.
A 3-1 win at Troyes in their last league game followed a 2-1 home win over Lyon, although they were beaten 3-0 at Club Brugge in the Champions League in midweek, and at a raucous Bollaert they will back themselves against anyone.
How Paris FC go into the game
Paris FC have been the surprise package, sitting third after an excellent start to the season. Lassine Sinayoko has led the way with six goals.
A 4-3 home win over Rennes last time out showed their quality, and they also won 3-2 at Marseille, though they lost 2-1 at Lens and 5-0 at home to them last season.
