Ligue 1 kingmakers won't be Lille, PSG or Monaco; Lens have the chance to decide who takes home the crown

Le Championnat's restored Northern force will have a big say in the title

Paris Saint-Germain will welcome RC Lens to Parc des Princes in Ligue 1 on Saturday for a match that could prove vital in the race for the French title with leaders Lille OSC at home to OGC Nice later in the day. But, even though the defending champions are just one point behind LOSC, they are not necessarily the team from this weekend's capital clash who will have the biggest say over this season's ultimate title winners. Lens, all the way up in fifth upon their return to Le Championnat for the first time since 2015, have been the surprise package of the campaign in France and are currently unbeaten in 13 league matches.
