Lens vs Paris FC prediction

Tired Lens face in-form Paris FC

Paris FC are the surprise of the season: 3rd in Ligue 1, level on points with leaders Lyon. Lens, 8th, have won their last two league games, but suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat at Club Brugge in the Champions League on Wednesday.

African players to watch

• Lassine Sinayoko (Mali): two goals and two assists against Rennes last weekend, he is Paris FC's man in form.
• Amadou Haidara (Mali): the Lens midfielder will be tasked with containing him.

Absentees

Lens are without Abdallah Sima and Nawrocki, while Gradit is a doubt. Paris FC are missing Sangui, with Ikoné and Koleosho doubtful.

Our view

Lens will be tired after their European trip, and Paris FC score plenty (4 goals against Rennes). We go for both teams to score.
