Paris Saint-Germain can put one hand on the Ligue 1 trophy this weekend as they take on second-place Lens at Parc des Princes.
The defending champions are leading the way at the top of the table, with a six-point advantage over their rivals, and victory in this match would put them in a commanding position with seven games to go.
However, Lens are the most in-form team in the French top flight, with an unbeaten run of seven matches, and they won the reverse fixture 3-1 back in January.
Here's all the key information on the match, including kickoff time, live streaming and TV channels, lineups, and betting odds.

PSG vs Lens prediction, betting odds
Despite boasting an all-star team, PSG just cannot seem to get the job done within their Ligue 1 title defence, which has left the door open for Lens to challenge them in the run-in.
Lens' fine form will be a concern for Galtier, with PSG not winning a league match in Paris in over a month, and a battling draw this weekend would keep the title race open.
Prediction: A 1-1 draw
