Today's game will perhaps be the hardest game Paris Saint-Germain will ever play in the league. Because first, they are playing the 2nd place in the league, second their closest followers, third it's an away game and fourth on the first day of the year. If players drank too much at the New Year celebration and didn't get enough sleep, their performance in this match could suffer. In their last 2 encounters with Lens, the match ended in a draw. Paris Saint-Germain has a very good winning streak, but if that streak ends in a match, this match can be called the highest probability. Messi didn't play in the last match of the World Cup return, he may not be in this match. I don't know if Mbappe and Neymar will play, if they don't, Lens' chances of getting points in this match will increase. Maybe we should see the squads and make a bet in last minutes.
Maybe you're right, but it looks like the coach had anticipated it. New Year's celebrations should not have an impact on the performance of PSG players, but it could be that some of them lack discipline and celebrate too much. Tough match? I don't think so, but it could be considering PSG without Messi and Neymar. As a result, Mbappe must be the most influential player in this match even though PSG actually has several other strikers who can help.
I agree that Lens will probably take advantage of PSG's opportunities and weaknesses today, which have lost their two pillars in attack. Messi is rumored to be returning on January 3, while Neymar is set to return after a one-game suspension. This means that Mbappe, Messi and Neymar will return to play together in the match against Angers in the middle of next week.
