My Prediction
Paris Saint-Germain by 1Looking at the upcoming matchup of Lens vs Paris Saint-Germain, there's quite a bit to unpack.
In the Parisian corner, the twin guardian blockade of Gianluigi Donnarumma and Matvey Safonov has been solid in front of the net this season. But hey, even the best cologne can't mask a rotten egg, and that's where Ousmane Dembélé steps up for PSG. His 5 goals and 7 shots on target are nothing short of impressive. Kang-in Lee and Achraf Hakimi also deserve a round of applause, with their exceptional passing accuracy.
For Lens, goalkeeper Hervé Koffi has proven his mettle with a slightly higher rating than his Parisian counterparts. But let's face it, you can’t play a symphony solo. It needs an orchestra, which is where Florian Sotoca would hopefully play his part. His ball distribution has been decent, much like Przemysław Frankowski, whereas Goduine Koyalipou, rookie year notwithstanding, has added goals to his resume.
Ten games into the French Ligue, Paris Saint-Germain boasts a strong 13-4-0 record compared to Lens's slightly less imposing 7-6-4. The past is also replete with PSG outperforming Lens in the majority of their encounters. But let's also not forget about the law of averages, which can be as unforgiving as a bad karaoke performance.
Recently, Lens has been holding its own, managing a 2-1 win over Le Havre, alongside a heart-breaking loss to Toulouse. Albeit performing admirably, their play has been less steadfast than that of PSG, who've demonstrated a robust offensive force with frequent triumphant outings.
Evaluating all the facts and figures, my crystal ball suggests that Paris Saint-Germain, while not expected to steamroll over Lens, should walk away with the victory.
