PSG to kick-off title defence at Lens
RC Lens vs Paris St. Germain - 10/09/2020
9571
Last season big-spending French giants PSG enjoyed another strong season. Not only were the Parisians awarded the Ligue One after the season was curtailed, but Thomas Tuchel’s team also made it to the final of the Champions League.
On Thursday night, PSG kick-off their Ligue One title defence, as they head to Lens. They are once again major favourites to retain the French title.
Lens suffered a 2-1 defeat at Nice in gameweek one, it was a disappointing start for the home team who have returned to the French top-flight for the first time since 2015. They will have to improve their form if they are to avoid relegation this time around, as they have now won just two of their last 20 games in Ligue One.
Even playing on home soil did not help Lens in their previous stint in the French top-flight, as they have won just two of their previous ten league matches.
PSG’s last Ligue One game came at the end of February when the league came was curtailed. Thomas Tuchel’s team mounted a 16-game unbeaten run before the league was forced to end.
The French champions are renowned for their attacking quality and have scored at least two goals in their last 15 league outings. In fact, they have scored at least four goals in their previous four league matches.
PSG are unbeaten in their last seven away games in Ligue One, having won six of their undefeated games. The team from the French capital have also scored at least two goals in their final seven away matches.
The visitors are ten games unbeaten against Lens in all competitions. That stat looks unlikely to change in this clash.
Forebet predicts that PSG will record a victory in a low-scoring encounter to kick-off their title defence with a victory.
