Ligue 1: PSG vs. Lens live stream , predictions , lineups s

The highly anticipated Ligue 1 clash between Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and RC Lens is set to take place on November 2, 2024. PSG, currently leading the league with an unbeaten record of seven wins and two draws, aims to maintain their dominance against a resilient Lens side positioned fifth in the standings . Despite Lens' commendable defensive capabilities, they face challenges in attack, having recently suffered a setback against Lille. This matchup presents an intriguing contest as PSG seeks to extend their winning streak at home while Lens aims for redemption following their recent loss.

Unbeaten in their first nine league matches, the Parisians sit comfortably at the summit of the Ligue 1 table, with 28 goals scored to a mere eight conceded. Their recent exploits include a commanding 3-0 victory in the historic Le Classique against Olympique Marseille, a win that showcased their dominance.

RC Lens may not be performing at their 2022/2023 level, where they finished second, only a point behind PSG, but they have enjoyed a better start to the season compared to a year ago. Currently sitting fifth with 14 points, Will Still’s side suffered their first defeat last weekend in the Derby du Nord against Lille.

Champions League gatecrashers Brest continue their pursuit for European qualification once again when they host Nice in Ligue 1 on Saturday.

Neutrals tuning into this one will be hoping for an improvement on the two matches these sides served up last season, as it was the only fixture in the French top flight which ended 0-0 at both venues.

In the last four rounds of Ligue 1, the Parisians managed to score 11 goals. Meanwhile, Lens conceded two goals in two of their last three matches, although such a thing hadn't happened with the team earlier this season. Considering the emerging problems of the "blood and gold" in defense, we suggest betting on PSG's individual total goals over 1.5.

Paris Saint-Germain possible starting lineup: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Skriniar, Pacho, Nuno Mendes; Mayulu, Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha; Marco Asensio, Kolo Muani, D Doue

Lens possible starting lineup: Samba; Gradit, Danso, Khusanov; Frankowski, Thomasson, Diouf, Chavez; Sotoca, Nzola, Zaroury

The predicted lineups reveal contrasting formations: PSG is likely to adopt a 4-3-3 setup featuring Gianluigi Donnarumma in goal and Nuno Mendes on defense, whereas Lens may utilize a more compact 3-4-3 formation anchored by goalkeeper Brice Samba . This tactical divergence underscores the strategic battle that will unfold on the pitch. As fans eagerly await this encounter at Parc des Princes, both teams must navigate their injury concerns while vying for crucial points in this competitive Ligue 1 season.
