The Ligue 1 returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Lens lock horns with Christophe Galtier's star-studded PSG side in an important encounter at the Parc des Princes on Saturday.
PSG vs Lens Preview
Lens are currently in second place in the Ligue 1 standings and have consistently punched above their weight over the course of their campaign. The away side edged Strasbourg to an important 2-1 victory last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
PSG, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment but have not been at their best so far this season. The Parisian giants eased past Nice by a 2-0 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
