PSG vs Lens prediction, 10:15 p.m. September 14: 3 easy points

TPO - Football review PSG vs Lens, Ligue 1 - Team information, expected lineup, form, history of confrontation. Tonight, the defending champion will host Lens, a difficult mid-range team. Can PSG win their fourth consecutive victory in Ligue 1?

Pre-match comments PSG vs Lens

PSG are confidently leading the French championship with maximum points after the first 3 rounds. Their goal difference is impressive, 8-3. Although the attack has been cautious in the opening matches, scoring only 2 goals in 2 matches, the important thing is that PSG's efficiency has always been maximum.

Fans have been asking whether PSG are saving their energy or simply not at their best yet. Both of their first two games against Nantes and Angers, two relatively weak teams, ended in narrow 1-0 wins for the defending champions. But in the most recent round, PSG have answered that question by saying that when needed, they can still explode. And PSG did explode with 6 goals against Toulouse. At the start of the second half, the club led their opponents 5-1. By the 72nd minute, the score was 6-1 before they appeared to loosen up, allowing their opponents to score 2 more goals in the final 5 minutes.

This could be the answer that reassures the capital team's fans, that PSG's attacking power is very good. The problem is whether PSG can show all that power against Lens because their squad is damaged by injuries, while in the middle of next week they have to enter a series of difficult European Cup C1 matches?

Dembele will miss this match due to injury.

Form, head-to-head history PSG vs Lens

On the other side of the front line, Lens has had a good preparation for the start of the current season. After starting the campaign with a disappointing 0-1 loss to Lyon, they have bounced back in their last 2 matches. Lens won 2 convincing victories against Havre (2-1) and Brest (3-1).

Notably, Lens have shown a great deal of variety in their attacking play, with five different players scoring five goals in those games. That unpredictability could be a key factor in a clash with a formidable PSG side.

In fact, in the last 6 matches since 2023, PSG have never lost to Lens. At home, PSG tend to dominate most teams in the tournament. But they also rarely win by a large margin. In the last 4 matches against Lens, PSG only created a minimal difference. For them, 3 points are the most important, regardless of whether they score many goals or not.

They have even more incentive to go ahead with this game as planned. PSG have suffered a couple of blows over the FIFA Days break, with star man Ousmane Dembele ruled out for around six weeks with a hamstring injury and Desire Doue ruled out for around four weeks with a calf problem. Fabian Ruiz is also still out. They are in the Champions League next week so it is entirely possible that PSG will win just enough to keep their squad together.

Expected lineup PSG vs Lens

PSG : Chevalier, Beraldo, Hakimi, Mendes, Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Neves, Lee Kang-in, Kvaratskhelia, Ramos, Barcola.

Lens : Risser, Gradit, Sarr, Udol, Aguilar, Sangare, Thomasson, Machado, Thauvin, Said, Fofana

Score prediction: PSG 2-1 Lens
