PSG vs RC Lens Preview
- Tournament: Ligue 1
- Date: Saturday, November 2
- Kick-off Time: 04:00 pm GMT
- Venue: Parc des Princes, Paris.
France football giants and defending Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain are set to host RC Lens for their tenth league tie. Both teams are having good form, especially PSG who are unbeaten in the ongoing competition.
PSG have won seven and drawn only two games while losing none to stay strong at the tabletop. They are ruling the league, with 28 goals already scored while facing only eight. For them, nothing short of a win would be appreciated, and the real deal will be the goal difference post-match.
Lens are also fairing fine, actually better than their last season. The side has won three, lost only one, and drawn five to have a fifth spot as of now. With their strong defense, they will also aim to upset the defending champions with a snatch of full points, but a draw would also make them satisfied is what is being felt.

Key Players to Watch in PSG vs RC Lens
Marco Asensio (PSG)
The former Real Madrid star started in most of the games in Ligue 1, but coach Luis Enrique Martínez hasn’t used him for a full 90 minutes yet. He has also not matched his standards to claim full minutes. Having only two goals, and two assists in the ongoing competition, he needs to find the back of the net more.
This can be a crucial match for him to change his views, as he will be facing a tough defense, which is tough to crack. A goal against them will also boost his morale.
Abdukodir Khusanov (RC Lens)
The 20-year-old got minimal minutes in the first two matches, but since then he played for full minutes in all, and he has done his job really well. His good tackles and error-free defending will be put to a huge test against giants like PSG.
He, together with the entire back-line needs to stop strikers like Asensio, Barcola, and Dembele (if bought in). The task looks difficult, but if done will be good for the scouts of top clubs to notice.
PSG vs RC Lens Prediction
Despite having a good defense that doesn’t leak goals easily, RC Lens might concede a couple owing to a strong attack from Paris Saint Germain. Lens also have a weak attack, so scoring goals can be next to impossible. So, PSG might get a comfortable win for their superior team, tactics, and home support.
Predicted Score: PSG 2-0 RC Lens
