In this Ligue 1 fixture the two sides meet with little separating them in the table: Lens sit 8th and Paris sit 4th. Both teams have played 7 matches, but they are 4 points apart, so this game matters to each of them in a different way. The hosts want to climb toward the upper zone, while the visitors want to hold on to their own position. Lens have just lost 0-3 in Europe, but in the league they have still won two of their last three and they score consistently at home. Paris, for their part, have lost only one of seven league matches, scoring 12 and conceding 7 - numbers that say the defence is not leaking, but they have not shut out the opposition every game either. This game should turn into an exchange of punches in which both sides get the ball and play their own game. Lens have to be the ones who open up at home and push high, while Paris will likely wait for the counter when the hosts push their line up. The space in the middle will open up for both to run into, which is the moment the visitors are good at.
