16:35 – Paris cannot count on Kvaratskhelia
Paris Saint-Germain made its first recruit of the winter transfer window official on Friday evening, with the signing of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Naples. The amount of the transfer is estimated at 70 million euros by the French and Italian media. This match against Lens necessarily comes a little too early to see the Georgian play his first minutes in the PSG jersey. But that could be the case next Saturday when Reims hosts in Ligue 1 (9:05 p.m.).
16:30 – Luis Enrique does not want to think about C1
Will PSG be fully focused on the match this afternoon as the clash against Manchester City on Wednesday in the Champions League looms? Yes, according to Luis Enrique. “We see the importance of the Champions League match and you have been talking to me about it for several weeks. But I do not believe that the Manchester City match will have any impact on the result in Lens,” he explained. Friday in a press conference We would prefer to arrive at the Champions League match with a victory in hand and then we will have time to talk about the match against City and Stuttgart.
16:25 – PSG: An experimental defense
Luis Enrique is deprived of three major players for this trip to the North, since captain Marquinhos and Ousmane Dembélé are not in the Parisian group, just like Hamiki. Absent against Espaly on Wednesday (paternity), Beraldo will start as right back in the absence of the Moroccan side. The Parisian defense will therefore be made up of four left-handed players! In the middle, Fabian Ruiz is preferred to Joao Neves. PSG starting lineup: Donnarumma – Beraldo, L. Hernandez, Pacho, N. Mendes – Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, F. Ruiz – Lee, D. Doué, Barcola.
4:20 p.m. – Third match this season between Lens and Paris
This is already the third time that RC Lens and Paris Saint-Germain have faced each other this season in an official match. In Ligue 1, on November 2, 2024, the Parisians won by the smallest margin (1-0), thanks to a goal from Ousmane Dembélé, who will be absent this afternoon. During the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France, on December 22, the two teams had to decide during the penalty shootout after a draw. And in this game, it was again Paris who came out victorious, in pain (1-1, 4 tab to 3).
16:15 – Lens: Still favors a 3-way defense
Will Still finally decided to return to a three-defender system for this match against PSG, as in the Coupe de France during the previous confrontation between the two teams at Bollaert before the break. Deprived of Danso (suspended), Khusanov (pending departure for Manchester City) and Brice Samba, who left for Rennes, the Lensois coach chose Jonathan Gradit and Malang Sarr to accompany Facundo Medina in central defense. RC Lens starting lineup: Koffi – Frankowski, Gradit, Medina, M. Sarr Machado – Thomasson, Diouf – Sotoca – Nzola, Koyalipou.
-16:10 – Lens wants to bring down PSG
After a great victory at Le Havre last week (1-2), RC Lens was able to recharge their batteries all week to prepare for PSG’s visit to Bollaert this Saturday. Against Parisians still undefeated in Ligue 1 after 17 days, the Lensois want to believe in the feat despite their difficulties against the teams at the top of the table in L1 this season. During the first phase, Lens did not win any of its eight matches against the other teams in the first half of the ranking (4 draws for 4 defeats).
16:05 – Paris wants to continue its good series
Three days after qualifying for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France in Clermont against Espaly (2-4), PSG is already back in Ligue 1 with this difficult trip to Lens. With a seven-point lead over OM at the top of the standings, the Parisians are not under pressure but would like to continue their positive momentum with a fourth consecutive victory in Ligue 1, where Luis Enrique’s players are still undefeated.
