18+. T&Cs apply. Gamble responsibly
The French league season is entering its final stretch, with the title race likely to be decided on May 13 at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis. Paris Saint-Germain, an official partner of 1xBet, are one step away from a 5th league title in a row, but standing in the Parisians’ way are the sensational Lens, who will do everything in their power to win Ligue 1 after a nearly 30-year hiatus.
Blood-and-Gold Fortress
Lens have had an incredible season, securing their spot in the Champions League league phase for next season. Pierre Sage’s side still have a mathematical chance of winning the league title, but to do so, they must not only beat Paris Saint-Germain but also improve their goal difference by 15. Achieving this with two games remaining in Ligue 1 is almost impossible.
So the clash against the Parisians is more of an opportunity to slam the door one last time and prevent the Red-and-Blues from celebrating their title win at the Bollaert-Delelis. Besides, Lens haven’t lost at home since the end of February.
Allan Saint-Maximin will be unable to help the Blood-and-Gold in the upcoming match due to injury. However, Pierre Sage has several interesting options to replace the skilful Frenchman, and his team will be ready to take on the reigning champions.
Unstoppable Paris Saint-Germain
Luis Enrique’s men are writing a new chapter in French football history, being very close to winning a record 14th Ligue 1 title. The Parisians will surely do their best to end the league race with a resounding victory over their main competitors. A boost of positive emotions will certainly be useful ahead of the season’s crucial match – the Champions League final.
Several key Paris Saint-Germain players will miss the upcoming game: Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes, Achraf Hakimi and Warren Zaïre-Emery are all injured. However, Luis Enrique has already demonstrated his mastery of squad rotation this season. That’s why the Red-and-Blues are capable of defeating any opponent, regardless of who takes to the pitch.
In their last 11 matches against Lens, the Parisians have scored at least 1 goal. Paris Saint-Germain are the highest-scoring team in Ligue 1, averaging over 2 goals per game. The attacking trio of Kvaratskhelia, Dembélé and Doué is in excellent form and capable of treating fans to another goalscoring show.
Who will win?
The home side are on a 5-match unbeaten run, while the visitors have won 7 of their last 10 matches in all competitions. The H2H history favors PSG – the Red-and-Blues haven’t lost to Lens for 3 years. Pierre Sage’s team will surely want to end their 7-game losing streak against the Parisians and delay their opponents’ league triumph.
The rescheduled fixture from matchday 29 will be the climax of the Ligue 1 season, attracting attention from football fans around the world. Don’t miss the opportunity to make this match even more exciting.
