Venue: Stade Bollaert-Delelis

Lens Preview

Lens welcome reigning French champions Paris Saint-Germain to the Stade Bollaert-Delelis for one of the most demanding fixtures of their opening Ligue 1 schedule. The hosts will look to make full use of their home support and their energetic pressing style, with a strong defensive performance likely to be essential against PSG's wide range of attacking options. Lens will also hope their ability to transition quickly can expose spaces behind the visitors' defence, particularly if PSG commit numbers forward.

PSG Preview

PSG begin another Ligue 1 campaign as the team to beat, and Luis Enrique's side will be expected to control possession and dictate the tempo from the opening whistle. With attacking quality throughout the squad and players capable of creating chances from both central and wide areas, PSG have plenty of ways to break down a compact Lens defence. The champions will nevertheless need to remain disciplined, as Lens' intensity and home advantage could make this a much tougher encounter than the difference in squad quality suggests.

Probable Lineups

Lens (3-4-2-1)

Samba; Danso, Gradit, Medina; Frankowski, Abdul Samed, El Aynaoui, Machado; Thomasson, Pereira da Costa; Wahi

PSG (4-3-3)

Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Vitinha, Neves, Ruiz; Doué, Dembélé, Barcola

We Say

PSG possess the greater individual quality and should have enough control in midfield to dictate much of the contest, but Lens' home advantage and aggressive approach could make the champions work hard for every opening. The hosts' best chance will be to disrupt PSG's rhythm and attack quickly in transition, while Luis Enrique's side will look to settle the game through possession and sustained pressure.
