Today's Ligue 1 prediction involves the clash between Lens and Paris FC.

Lens vs. Paris FC (Saturday, 7.45pm)

In search of a third successive league triumph, Lens return to Stade Bollaert-Delelis on Saturday to face one of this season’s surprise stories, Paris FC amid the unrest occurring in parts of France.

Last season’s Ligue 1 runners-up are up to eighth in the table thanks to a 3-1 triumph at Troyes last week, putting them four points below Paris FC, who sit third following a thrilling 4-3 win over Rennes.

We say: Lens 1-1 Paris FC

These are two resilient teams that have played well domestically, and we believe the Lens backline will hold firm, with each side taking a point.
