Lens coach Franck Haise also makes just one change from the 2-1 win over Strasbourg. This meets Florian Sotoca, who is only sitting on the bench. Instead, Deiver Machado moves into the starting lineup, replacing Sotoca one-for-one on the right. Tactically, the guests will probably act in a 3-4-2-1 system. However, a chain of five is also possible against the ball. Today it will certainly also be important for Lens to counterattack quickly and precisely.

Paris coach Christophe Galtier changed his team in just one position compared to the 2-0 win against Nice. Fabián Ruiz will start in place of the injured Renato Sanches. Tactically, everything points to a 3-5-2 system with Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé at the top. Neymar is still out injured.

RC Lens is the surprise team of the season and probably the only club that can still challenge Paris for the championship. Lens currently has 63 points, six points fewer than Paris. So with a win today you could get three points and the title race would be open again. After a short interim low, the team presented themselves efficiently again in the past few weeks and defeated Clermont, Angers, Rennais and Strasbourg in Ligue 1.

Paris Saint-Germain leads the Ligue 1 table with 69 points. However, the capital club already has its problems throughout 2023. Even after the Champions League defeat against Munich, appearances in the league remained poor compared to their own claims. In the last four games there have been victories against Brestois and Nice, while losing against Stade Rennes and Olympique Lyon. For this reason, the star ensemble cannot be sure of its cause. However, the game against pursuer Lens can definitely be considered the first small match ball.
