Paris Saint-Germain is on the brink of another Ligue 1 title, and a crucial clash against Lens on Wednesday night could be the moment they seal the deal. Sitting comfortably at the top of the table with 73 points, Luis Enrique's men need just one more point from their final two games to secure the championship. Lens, currently second with 67 points, will be eager to delay those celebrations and keep the pressure on.
PSG come into this match riding a wave of confidence. They've dominated Lens in recent history, winning each of their last seven meetings across all competitions since January 2023. The Parisians are also unbeaten in their last four league outings, most recently grinding out a 1-0 victory over Brest thanks to a late goal. That win came after a frustrating 2-2 draw at home to Lorient, but their away form has been especially impressive—three straight wins on the road without conceding a single goal.
However, the squad is facing a significant injury crisis ahead of the trip to Stade Bollaert-Delelis. Seven players are unavailable, including Lee Kang-in, who suffered a left ankle injury against Brest. Warren Zaire-Emery is sidelined with a back issue, while Nuno Mendes and Willian Pacho are out with hamstring and thigh injuries sustained during Champions League action. Achraf Hakimi, goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, and Quentin Ndjantou are also ruled out after only participating in light outdoor training sessions.
On a brighter note, Desire Doue is expected to start after coming off the bench to score the winning goal in the previous match. His form could be a key factor as PSG look to secure the title in style.
Here's the predicted PSG starting XI: Marin; Mayulu, Zabarnyi, Beraldo, Hernandez; Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia. The match kicks off at 8pm BST on Wednesday, 13th May, and fans in the UK can catch the action live on Ligue 1+ or Amazon Prime Video.
