Lens vs Paris FC prediction 24.10.2026 | Ligue 1

Last season, Lens did well, winning the Coupe de France and finishing 2nd in Ligue 1, behind only PSG. This season, they were inconsistent and struggled to string together wins. At the moment, they sit in 8th in Ligue 1 with 10 points after seven rounds. Beyond an underwhelming Ligue 1 campaign, they also managed to win only three points from three Champions League games. But they also had good games this season, as they beat PSG in the Super Cup and 1st-placed Lyon. But they need continuity if they want to repeat last season's success. 

After a 3:0 loss to Club Brugge in the previous game, coach Yannick Cahuzac spoke to the media. He said they lacked efficiency on both sides of the pitch. The coach emphasized the need to work on their finishing and defensive organization. 

Central defender Ismaelo Ganiou missed the Club Brugge game due to injury and will most likely miss the upcoming game as well. That is a big blow, given the fact that other central defenders Jonathan Gradit and Maik Nawrocki are already out due to injuries. Besides missing defenders, winger Abdallah Sima should remain sidelined as well. 

Paris FC also had a very good season, finishing 11th, which was great considering they were the newly promoted team. This year, the Parisians are doing an amazing job considering they are on level with four other teams for first place with 14 points in seven rounds! However, looking at their squad, we probably shouldn't be too surprised about their amazing results because they have assembled a good team.

In the previous game against Rennes, three players left the pitch due to minor injuries (Samir Chergui, Luca Koleosho, and Hamari Traore). However, according to credible sources, the players should be ready for the upcoming game. On the other hand, Jonathan Ikone and Nhoa Sangui, who missed the previous games with injuries, should remain sidelined.
