PSG team news

Presnel Kimpembe, Nordi Mukiele and Neymar are all out for the rest of the season. Marco Verratti is still a few weeks away from returning from a hamstring problem, while Juan Bernat has an ankle injury and is expected back in May.

Fabian Ruiz could come in for Renato Sanches, who had to be substituted after just ten minutes into the Nice game with an adductor problem.

PSG have been hit by racism allegations against manager Christophe Galtier. The 56-year-old, who has denied the allegations, has been placed under protection.

PSG vs Lens score prediction

It's only been a few months since Paris Saint-Germain and Lens met for the first time this season. Lens ran out 3-1 winners on New Year's Day in their second game back after the World Cup and will confident of securing a similar result against a PSG side in disarray.

Messi and Mbappe will feature from the off for the French champions but another slack performance will be punished by Lens if PSG don't show up.

With so much off-field drama happening in France, it wouldn't be surprising for a Lens side with a good recent record against PSG to claim all three points on Saturday night.

Prediction: PSG 1-2 Lens
