Sport of the week: Paris Saint-Germain v RC Lens, Saturday 16:00 (UK)
We nonetheless don’t really know the way good this PSG facet are. After failing to impress in Europe, the match towards Marseille was meant to be a litmus take a look at for his or her competitiveness on the home stage. It wasn’t. Marseille have been lowered to 10 males by the 20-minute mark and so few deductions may very well be taken. The identical strengths and weaknesses have been on present. Bradley Barcola and João Neves seemed sturdy, Ousmane Dembélé was additionally spectacular, till he was requested to offer the ultimate ball or the shot.
After a run of three losses in 4 video games towards Lens, PSG have now gained all of their final three towards Les Sang et Or, however there’s trigger for optimism, regardless of their loss towards Lens within the Derby du Nord final weekend. That consequence hinged on a late doubtful refereeing resolution as LOSC have been awarded a penalty within the dying levels. For a lot of the match, Lens have been strong and likewise labored good probabilities.
Will Nonetheless, nevertheless, has proven himself to be pragmatic and with some key gamers lacking, notably in attacking areas, he might accept his facet being compact, slightly than urgent excessive. Barcola ought to be stored quieter with Lens utilising full-backs, one in all which will probably be tight to Barcola all through. Restrict Barcola and also you restrict PSG. That isn’t to say that PSG gained’t have pleasure via the center, the place Neves can have an important impact, however it is going to be congested for PSG. With Facundo Medina now in midfield and with Kevin Danso again, there’s depth and aggression within the duels. Les Sang et Or are greater than able to shutting this PSG facet out.
