PSG will still make a scheme that seems to be the same as the previous match with an emphasis on Mbappe and Messi. This can clearly be a reference for Lens about what strategy they should do.
However now it wouldn't be wrong to play an open game with PSG even if it was certain for possession Lens lost but making the most of the quick counter-attacks and long balls that Lens always does is still possible for a repeat of their first meeting.

That's clear, there is no other choice that Galtier can hope for besides pairing their two stars. as for Hugo Ikitike, it seemed he lacked the coach's trust. and we can see why in the last few matches Galtier has used a 3-5-2 system. meaning, their focus is on their two stars namely Mbappe and Neymar. Here, Galtier puts more emphasis on the midfield player. unfortunately, PSG does not have an ideal midfielder. especially, those who have creativity, whether it's skills, dribbling, or anything that helps their forward players.

Talking about the PSG vs Lens match, if I refer to the predicted line-up and formation that Galtier will apply. it seems, most likely Galtier will try to tamper with the system he implements. there are two possibilities, galtier using the 3-5-2 pattern, or 5-3-2. but still, their focus is on the two stars. well, if Lens plays openly, in other words Lens must be ready to be overthrown by PSG players. except, PSG's midfield played badly. However, if I refer to the temporary prediction that Fanck Haise will set. it seems, he will apply 3-4-3. that is, they will also play offensively. by the way, this is only a prediction. but still, after all PSG is superior to Lens.
