Lens vs PSG: Team news and expert analysis
The club from "Felix Bollaert" finished only eighth a year ago. But now they are the main surprise of the current season. They reached the cup final, having thrashed Toulouse 4-1 in the semi-final. And in Ligue 1, they managed to compete for the lead on equal terms well into mid-spring! There was a slump afterwards, but they still managed to beat Nantes in the last round.
The capital's giants won everything possible last season, including the Champions League. After losing in the Club World Cup final in the summer, they continued to collect various trophies, slipping only in the cup. Not everything went smoothly in Ligue 1 either, but the intrigue there ended in the spring. They also beat Brest, even if it was only 1-0. Their main focus was the Champions League, where they managed to get past Bayern in the semi-finals, winning 5-4 and drawing 1-1, to reach the decisive round.
Sage's team is impressive: 1.94 goals scored per game and half as many conceded, 1.03. The champions are even better: they score 2.22 goals per match on average and concede just 0.84.
