Lens vs PSV Prediction & Betting Tips (24 October)

Nobody really saw it coming and yet, RC Lens is at the head of its group in the Champions League after the first two days. Indeed, under the leadership of a Wahi scorer and passer, the Sang et Or gleaned the 3 points against the Gunners after having nevertheless been behind, thus offering themselves a real feat against a big name. Before that, the Lensois took the point of the draw on the pitch of Sevilla FC 1-1. In the championship, last year's runners-up PSG also got back on track by remaining undefeated in the last four days.

First by winning two victories at home against TFC 2-1 and against Strasbourg 0-1, before conceding two draws. Hanging at home in the derby against Lille 1-1, the Artésiens narrowly missed the victory in Le Havre on Friday 0-0. They are 15th in the Ligue 1 standings, just ahead of the red zone.

On the flank since the start of the season, Cabot (11 appearances last year) will remain in care like the replacement goalkeeper Farinez. On the other hand, defender Haidara (absent since the championship match against Toulouse) returned this weekend. Long awaited to unlock his score with his new club, the former Montpellier, Wahi lived up to the challenge against Arsenal, delivering a magnificent assist on Thomasson's goal then slamming in a very nice rebound to seal the success Lensois in the second half. Affected with the Espoirs, he was suspended this weekend in the championship and should be reinstated for this poster. The starting left piston, Machado is also expected to return to the starting 11 after being left to rest on Friday following his late return from the Colombian selection. On the wings, we could find Sotoca on the right while Fulgini and Thomasson, both scorers in C1 this season, should compete for the place in the left lane.

Out with injury against Sparta Rotterdam, Noa Lang (ex-Club Bruges) had to forfeit the rally with the selection of Oranje and at the same time miss the poster against France. It is still difficult to know if he will be restored but a boy like Hirving Lozano could replace him. The long-term injured Obispo and Mauro Junior and Dutch U21 international midfielder Isaac Babadi are also doubtful, as is the formidable Tillman (3 goals in 4 league appearances). On the other hand, we will have to keep an eye on the scorer and captain of this team Luuk de Jong (7 goals, 5 assists in the league). Also watch out for the very good Til (3 goals this season), and Yorbe Vertessen (3 goals in the Eredivisie).
