The press of the day does not really agree on the compositions of the teams for the Lens/PSG match this Sunday evening (9 p.m.). The uncertainties concern all the lines on the Paris side.
It's the day of the last poster of the year 2024 for Paris, on the occasion of the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France which are being played this year before the winter break rather than after. The draw was not at all kind and this is reflected in the probable compositions of this Lens/PSG with a lot of starters announced, as Luis Enrique made no secret of at the press conference.
Little turnover in sight on the PSG side
On the PSG side, we should expect to see Safonov in goals and his defense should rely on two players for sure: Nuno Mendes to the left and Marquinhos in the axis. For the rest, L’Equipe announces Zaire-Emery to the right and On it in the axis when Le Parisien leans towards Judge et Beraldo.
In the middle, it is also very complicated to know the plans of the Spanish coach for this Lens/PSG with as always four options for three places. L'Equipe announces a trio composed of Ruiz, Vitinha et Neves when Le Parisien leans towards Zaire-Emery, Vitinha and Neves.
In attack, the two newspapers come together on Dembele's on the right and Gonçalo Ramos in the axis but the sports newspaper sees Gifted on the left when the regional daily leans towards Stagger. In short, a lot of uncertainty in this starting eleven and the assurance that turnover will be limited for the last of the year, despite fatigue.

On the RC Lens side, the composition to challenge PSG will follow the same logic: few replacements, except in the goals where the holder Samba is injured and his understudy Koffi is expected. Racing should continue with their four-man defense and the midfield sides to be occupied by Zaroury and Chavez, with Nzola and Fulgini forming their usual attacking pair.
