Lens vs PSG Prediction and Betting Tips | December 22nd 2024

Lens will invite reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to the Stade Bollaert-Delelis in the Coupe de France round of 64 on Sunday. The hosts were eliminated from the round of 64 last season and will look to improve upon that record.

Les Sang et Or have seen an upturn in form and are unbeaten in their last three games, recording two wins. They were held to a 2-2 draw by Auxerre in Ligue 1 last week. Neil El Aynaoui scored in the 22nd minute and M'Bala Nzola added the second goal in the 45th minute, with Przemysław Frankowski picking up his first assist of the season.

The visitors are unbeaten in their last five games, recording three consecutive wins. They played Monaco in a top-of-the-table Ligue 1 clash on Wednesday and registered a 4-2 away win. Ousmane Dembélé bagged a second-half brace in that win.

Lens vs PSG Prediction

Les Sang et Or have won two of their last six home games in all competitions, failing to score in three. They have scored two goals apiece in their last three games and will look to continue their prolific run here.

Wesley Said, Martin Satriano, Jonathan Gradit, and Brice Samba will miss the match due to injuries while Ruben Aguilar faces a late fitness test.

Les Parisiens have enjoyed a good run of form, suffering just one loss in their last eight games. They are unbeaten in their last three games, keeping two clean sheets.

Gianluigi Donnarumma suffered a facial injury after coming in contact with Wilfried Singo's boot earlier this week and will miss this match. He is the only confirmed absentee for Luis Enrique, who will likely start Matvey Safonov between the posts.

The capital club have a better record in the Coupe de France recently and, considering their dominance in this fixture, they should be able to eke out a narrow win.
