Lens Readies for PSG Showdown: Lineup Adjustments and Strategic Shift
Lens is set to face off against Paris Saint-Germain this Saturday, with the team looking to capitalize on their extended rest period following their absence from midweek Coupe de France action. Manager Will Still is eager to avenge their previous cup elimination at the hands of PSG.
According to reports, Still plans to make two significant changes to the lineup that secured a 2-1 victory over Le Havre in their last Ligue 1 encounter. The team is expected to transition from their previous formation to a 3-5-2 setup for the PSG match, resulting in two new defensive starters.
Arnass Zaroury, who previously occupied the right flank, is likely to be omitted due to the formation shift. Additionally, Kevin Danso will be absent due to suspension. Consequently, Jonathan Gradit and Malang Sarr are anticipated to join Facundo Medina in forming a three-man defensive line.
Projected Lens Starting XI vs PSG:
Goalkeeper: Hervé Koffi
Defenders: Jonathan Gradit, Malang Sarr, Facundo Medina
Midfielders: Przemysław Frankowski, Adrien Thomasson, Andy Diouf, Deiver Machado, Angelo Fulgini
Forwards: Florian Sotoca, Goduine Koyalipou
This lineup reflects Lens’ tactical adjustments as they prepare to challenge the formidable PSG squad, aiming to secure a crucial victory in this high-stakes Ligue 1 clash.
