LEN vs PSG Dream11 Prediction: Paris Saint-Germain return to Ligue 1 action on Thursday nightas they lock horns with Lens at Stade Bollaert-Delelis. After earning promotion from the second tier, the home side suffered a 2-1 defeat at Nice in their opening fixture of the season. PSG have already been boosted by many of their rivals already dropping points this season, effectively providing them with some leeway for error as they bid to get back up to top gear. Tuchel has been left searching for a solution to the increasing amount of positive coronavirus cases which are emerging in his squad, most recently for Kylian Mbappe who faces the likelihood of missing the next four games. Lens directly benefitted from French football being curtailed early, they face a battle to get up to speed against stronger opposition.
