PSG seems to be on a nasty streak of losses against clubs that they should be winning against easily. They’re lucky that they have such a commanding lead over every team in the League. Meanwhile, their upcoming rivals Lens can’t get enough of victory and sit just six points behind leaders PSG. Will they be able to overtake them until the end of the season? 

BTTS Market 

Combining PSG’s powerful strikeforce in Neymar, Lionel Messi, and wonderkid Mbappe, and Lens’ brilliant form as of late, it’s difficult to predict anything other than both teams scoring. Opta’s supercomputer still places PSG to have an edge over Lens however none of this can really be predicted given changing factors. I do however think that Lens has a really good chance to steal 3 points from PSG. 

BTTS Verdict: Yes 

Over/Under Market 

If PSG finally wake from their slumber, I think that they alone might make up the tally of over 2.5 goals. If not however, I think that both teams will battle it out to a score of 2-1 to edge out the other team. 

Over/Under Verdict: Yes
