PSG Aims to Extend Unbeaten Streak Against Lens in Ligue 1 Clash

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is set to host RC Lens at the Parc des Princes on Saturday, November 2, in a highly anticipated Ligue 1 match. PSG, currently leading the league, aims to maintain their unbeaten start to the season and extend their three-point cushion at the top of the standings.

Luis Enrique‘s side comes into the match on the back of a convincing 3-0 win against Marseille, which boosted their confidence. However, they face a stern test against Lens, who have the joint best defense in the league. Lens recently suffered their first defeat of the campaign, losing 2-0 to Lille, and will be looking to bounce back.

PSG will be without several key players due to injuries and suspensions. Defender Lucas Beraldo is suspended, while Presnel Kimpembe, Lucas Hernandez, and Goncalo Ramos are sidelined with injuries. Luis Enrique may also choose to rest star player Bradley Barcola ahead of the upcoming Champions League match against Atletico Madrid, potentially giving opportunities to Marco Asensio, Randal Kolo Muani, and Desire Doue.

Lens, meanwhile, will be missing several players, including defender Facundo Medina, who is also suspended. Jhoanner Chaves is expected to replace Medina, and Przemyslaw Frankowski is cleared to start despite being taken off at halftime in the Lille defeat. Other absentees for Lens include Wesley Said, Jimmy Cabot, Sidi Bane, Herve Koffi, Martin Satriano, and Ruben Aguilar.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 9 am PT / 12 pm ET and will be available to watch in the United States through Fubo, Fanatiz, and beIN SPORTS. For viewers abroad, a VPN may be necessary to access these streaming services.

Predictions suggest a tight and potentially low-scoring game, given the strong defensive records of both teams. PSG’s inability to keep a clean sheet at home could give Lens some hope, but the league leaders’ scoring record is formidable.
