Lens vs PSV Predictions

[wptb id=395164]

A European Clash of Titans at Stade Bollaert-Delelis

Key Stats
– Lens have only one home defeat in their last 13 games.
– PSV boast an unbeaten record with nine wins in the Eredivisie this season.
– Both teams have scored a combined total of 31 goals in their respective leagues this season.

Lens’ iconic Stade Bollaert-Delelis has been a cauldron of passion and excitement since their triumphant return to the Ligue 1 in 2020. Many visiting teams, including a languid Arsenal side, found it hard to prevail in such an intimidating environment. Lens’ ability to come from behind and secure victory, like they did against Arsenal with goals from Thomasson and Wahi, showcases their resilience under Franck Haise.

However, Lens’ inconsistency remains a concern. Since their monumental victory against Arsenal, they’ve struggled to capitalise on that momentum. Their recent 0-0 draw against Le Havre, where they were marginally outshot, and a stalemate with Lille are indicative of this. Despite these blips, Lens’ home record remains impressive, with only one defeat in their last 13 outings.


PSV Eindhoven – Unstoppable in Eredivisie but Wavering in Europe

On the other side of the spectrum, PSV, managed by Peter Bosz, have been a force to reckon with in the Eredivisie. A phenomenal run of nine wins from nine games this season is testament to their domestic prowess. Their recent 3-1 triumph against Fortuna Sittard marked the sixth consecutive game where they netted at least twice.

[wptb id=389088]

Yet, their European campaign has been a mixed bag. The draw against Sevilla was a classic example of their never-say-die attitude, with Jordan Teze’s late equaliser ensuring they left with a point. Historically, PSV’s record against French teams is less than stellar, with only eight wins from 28 meetings.


Key Players and Line-ups

Lens’ attacking verve was noticeably absent against Le Havre, partly due to Wahi’s suspension. But with the French U-21 international likely to replace Wesley Said, Lens’ forward line will pack a punch. Defensive stalwarts like Kevin Danso and Massadio Haidara are expected to shrug off minor knocks, reinforcing the backline.

On the PSV side, injuries to key players like Mauro Junior, Armando Obispo, and Noa Lang are setbacks. However, the likes of Isaac Babadi and Malik Tillman have demonstrated their readiness to step up. Guus Til, after his recent goal-scoring antics, and Hirving Lozano, covering for Lang, will be pivotal for the Dutch side’s attack.


A Tactical Analysis

Lens’ attacking prowess is showcased by their average of 15.7 shots per game, coupled with a commendable ball possession rate of 53%. Players like Ayanda Sishuba and Florian Sotoca, with their impressive ratings, are integral to Lens’ forward play. However, their defence, having conceded 13 goals and managing just two clean sheets this season, remains a chink in their armour.

PSV’s tactical strength lies in their forward play, boasting a fantastic goal-scoring record in Eredivisie. Yet, their European journey highlights their struggle to replicate this form against top-tier opposition.

Managerial Showdown

Franck Haise’s tactical nous and Peter Bosz’s attacking philosophy will be a riveting contest of minds. While Haise has been instrumental in Lens’ resurgence, Bosz’s domestic dominance with PSV speaks volumes. However, Bosz’s European tactics remain questionable, especially after the drubbing by Arsenal.


Final Thoughts and Areas of Improvement

Both teams, while having their strengths, have room for improvement. Lens need to solidify their defence and capitalise on their home advantage, while PSV need to transfer their domestic form to Europe.


Predictions and Analysis

  1. Both Teams to Score: Given both teams’ attacking capabilities and defensive vulnerabilities, it’s likely that both teams will find the net.
  2. Correct Score Prediction: A closely contested 2-2 draw seems probable, considering both teams’ form and attacking prowess.
  3. Goalscorer Prediction: Elye Wahi, with his imminent return, is our pick to score for Lens. Luuk de Jong, with his recent penalty prowess, could be the man for PSV.
  4. Corner Prediction: Given Lens’ average of 6.4 corners per game, they might edge PSV in this department. We predict a total of 11 corners in the match.
