Paris Saint-Germain welcome Lens to the Parc des Princes in Ligue 1, with Luis Enrique’s men aiming to extend their perfect start to the season. PSG have been dominant in attack, led by Bradley Barcola and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and the champions will look to control possession and press high from the start. Despite some defensive lapses in recent games, the Parisians remain clear favorites.

Lens arrive in Paris hoping to cause an upset. They have shown glimpses of quality this season, with Odsonne Edouard leading the line and Florian Thauvin adding creativity behind him. Franck Haise’s side will rely on discipline and quick counterattacks to exploit PSG’s high defensive line. Injuries to Jhoanner Chavez and Deiver Machado mean Lens will have to reshuffle defensively, but their compact 3-4-2-1 system is designed to frustrate strong opponents.

The predicted lineup for PSG sees Lucas Chevalier in goal behind a back four of Hakimi, Zabarnyi, Beraldo, and Hernández. Vitinha anchors the midfield with Zaire-Emery and Kang-In Lee pushing forward, while Barcola, Ramos, and Kvaratskhelia form a dangerous attacking trio. Lens are expected to line up with Risser in goal, a back three of Gradit, Baidoo, and Sarr, supported by wing-backs Aguilar and Udol. Thomasson and Sangaré will look to control the midfield, while Thauvin and Guilavogui play behind striker Edouard.

With PSG in top form and backed by their home crowd, they go into this clash as strong favorites. However, Lens have the weapons to test them, and if they remain organized and clinical on the break, this could turn into a much tighter contest than expected.
