Last Wednesday, December 28, actions resumed in one of the most famous soccer leagues in Europe, Ligue 1, where we had exciting matches that left us, as expected, with PSG as a leader as ever.
After more than a month of hiatus due to the Qatar 2022 World Cup, Ligue 1 actions continue next Sunday, January 1, 2023, when we will have the matches corresponding to the 17th matchday.
For now, and as it has been in recent seasons, it seems that there is still no team that can stand up to PSG at the top of the standings, and with this star-studded team, it is very complicated.
Likewise, besides PSG, the team with the best performance, for now, is undoubtedly Lens.
When:
Sunday, January 1 at 02:45 PM ET at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis
Moneyline odds:
PSG +112
Lens +228
Draw Offs:
+380

Why Bet on PSG
The leader of the standings and one of the teams with the most fearsome squad of players in the world, PSG, arrives to this matchday 17 more leaders than ever, with a cushion of essential points that allow them to have some margin for error at the time of their matches.
PSG had a highly complex match on matchday 16 against Racing Strasbourg because, despite playing at the Parc des Princes, the visiting team kept the match level until the 90+6th minute when Kylian Mbappé gave his team the victory through a penalty shot.
It should be noted that Neymar was sent off the match for a double yellow card in the 62nd minute.
Another point to note is that PSG is still without Lionel Messi. The Argentine star has not yet returned from his vacation in his homeland after lifting the World Champion trophy in Qatar two weeks ago.
Why Bet on Lens
On the other hand, we have Lens, the team that is giving the surprise this season, and that, as the matchdays go by, looks much more solid than ever. It is not for nothing that they are in second place in the table and seem to be the only team in Ligue 1 that is ready to snatch the title from PSG.
This has been a hard-working squad, with many pieces that, while not known around the world, work as a true team in every match played, and, thanks to that, the team has been on an impressive eight-game winning streak in a row.
Lens’ defensive solidity is their main strength, as, along with PSG, they are the teams that have conceded the fewest goals so far with ten. However, we must wait and see if Lens’ defense can withstand Mbappé’s onslaught in the next match.
Final Betting Analysis: PSG vs. Lens
There is no doubt that there is no better way to start a year than with a match between the two best teams in Ligue 1 this season, PSG and Lens.
At MyBookie.ag, we can see that there is a Moneyline that favors PSG at +112, while Lens starts at +228.
PSG, without Neymar and Messi but with Mbappé and company, will try to give a blow on the table this Sunday and thus prove that last Wednesday’s match was an oversight.
Lens knows they can take advantage of these two absences to apply some pesky marking on Mbappé and thus take advantage in this game.
While it is presumed that it can be a very even match, our selection is a PSG victory with a score of 1-0.
Look for a straight win on the Moneyline PSG. For example, if you put $100 on PSG at +112, you’ll be looking at a $112 win with a total payout of $212.
