Ligue 1’s surprise package Lens will look to extend their perfect start to the season when they host Paris FC at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis on October 24, 2026. Lens arrive in scintillating form, boasting a flawless record of five wins from five, scoring 17 goals and conceding just six. Their recent five-match winning streak underscores their current dominance and suggests they are a formidable force at home.
Conversely, Paris FC have endured a more inconsistent campaign, with 10 wins, 11 draws, and 11 losses. While their overall win rate sits at 31%, their recent form offers a glimmer of hope, having secured three wins and a draw in their last five outings. This slight upturn suggests they are not to be underestimated despite their challenging season. Head-to-head encounters have been varied, with Lens securing a dominant 5-0 victory earlier in the season, though Paris FC did manage a 2-1 win more recently in 2024. The bookmakers are anticipating a tight affair, with a 35% chance for both a home win and a draw, and a 30% probability for an away victory. Lens will aim to maintain their blistering offensive output, while Paris FC will need to tighten their defence, having conceded 47 goals this season, to stand any chance of upsetting the league leaders.
