Top 5 reasons to watch Lens v PSG | OneFootball

Here is our series. The 5 good reasons to watch a match. Before each game, we’ll look back at the appealing aspects with a mix of seriousness and humor. Mind you, this is not meant to be an exhaustive look at the subject. We continue here with Paris Saint-Germain’s match (1st) this Wednesday against Lens (2nd) at the Stade Bollaert in a rescheduled Matchday 29 Ligue 1 2025-2026 fixture (kick-off 9pm, PSG/Inter Milan broadcast on beIN SPORTS).

5. Expected confirmations.

Ilya Zabarnyi (23-year-old defender), Dro Fernandez (18-year-old midfielder) and Senny Mayulu (19-year-old midfielder) made a strong impression against Brest on Sunday evening (Matchday 33). They will no doubt play again, possibly as starters. We hope to see them perform well again, both for tonight’s match and for the future. We can also think of Renato Marin (19-year-old goalkeeper), except that he may not start.

4. A “rehearsal” before the Champions League final?

We respect Paris FC, whom PSG will face this Sunday on Matchday 34 of Ligue 1, but Lens are on another level this season. It will be an intense match, against a side with real quality. It really does look like the last “big clash” to prepare with rhythm and confidence before the Champions League final on May 30 against Arsenal. Even if the style of play will be different. Besides, Lens will also have their Coupe de France final against Nice on May 22 in mind as they play this match.

3. An admirable opponent.

As we just said, there will be a very good team on the other side, with an attacking and intense style. Of course, we like PSG and can’t complain about following them every day. But it is always interesting to watch another top-level team, as well as other players. Perhaps with an idea or two for PSG’s transfer window.

2. A “football celebration.”

Those are the words of Paris coach Luis Enrique, and they sum up the evening well. Two in-form teams playing high-level football, with a stadium where the atmosphere is always great. We have to enjoy this evening as much as possible, especially since the season is almost over.

1. The title, officially.

If PSG do not lose, they will officially be champions. They almost already are, and even Lens supporters admit it, given Paris’ 6-point lead and +15 goal difference. But it is not quite done yet; football can be crazy sometimes. A strong start from Lens could even bring back a little suspense. We expect the Parisians to go for the title tonight, and to do it in style as well.
