Ligue 1
Lens and Paris Saint-Germain have met on 12 occasions since 2020. PSG won seven of those matches, including each of their last six Ligue 1 encounters.
Lens team overview
Lens return to Ligue 1 action after a narrow 1:0 win against Nantes last weekend. Mezian Mesloub’s late goal maintained RC’s slim Ligue 1 title hopes.
Back-to-back draws against Brest (3:3) and Nice (1:1) proved costly, with Pierre Sage’s side now six points behind PSG with only two games remaining. The hosts failed to win three of four previous Ligue 1 matches before their hard-fought victory against Nantes.
Pierre Sage has four selection issues to deal with on Wednesday. Saud Abdulhamid is suspended following a red card, while Jonathan Gradit (broken leg) is ruled out through injury. Allan Saint-Maximin and Florian Thauvin are both doubtful due to strains.

Paris Saint-Germain team overview
Paris Saint-Germain come into Wednesday’s Ligue 1 title decider after edging to a narrow 1:0 win against Brest on Sunday. Désiré Doué’s late goal secured a crucial victory for Les Parisiens.
The Ligue 1 champions and league leaders have been in solid form, picking up ten points from their last four league fixtures. Luis Enrique’s side now sit six points clear of Lens, with just two games to play in the Ligue 1 season.
A strong record in this fixture should give PSG plenty of confidence on Wednesday. The Parisiens won each of their last six league matches against Lens.
Luis Enrique has five players missing this week. Achraf Hakimi (thigh), Lucas Chevalier (thigh), Nuno Mendes (thigh), Warren Zaïre-Emery (back) and Willian Pacho (thigh) are all ruled out through injury.

Prediction
While a point is enough to secure the Ligue 1 title, I fancy Paris Saint-Germain to pick up victory against nearest rival Lens.
An away win is my preferred pick for Wednesday's showdown at Stade Bollaert-Delelis.
Three Reasons Why We Expect PSG to Win
- PSG won their last 6 matches against Lens (Ligue 1)
- PSG won 10 of their last 15 away matches (Ligue 1)
- Lens failed to win 4 of their last 7 matches
