Watch RC Lens vs PSG: Stream Ligue 1 soccer live, TV channel – How to Watch and Stream Major League & College Sports

Christophe Galtier will be without Lionel Messi and Neymar as Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain travel to second-placed Lens in an unmissable New Year’s Eve game. Franck Haise’s side have been a surprise in France’s top flight so far this season and are in contention for the most unlikely title challenge, with seven points separating them from PSG heading into Week 17. An underdog win for the hosts on Sunday would bring ‘Les Sang et Or’ within easy reach of the Parisians, and they won’t have many chances to face the current league champions in a much weaker state.

Messi’s absence is to be expected as the Argentine talisman soaks up the latest of celebrations following his country’s World Cup triumph over France.

Neymar is a more avoidable misfortune, however, after the Brazilian was sent off in Wednesday’s 2-1 win over Strasbourg. Having already been warned for planting an unnecessary hand against an enemy, Neymar was then shown his marching orders for a second simulation warning just after the hour mark:

It didn’t affect the final result at the Parc des Princes as Kylian Mbappe came from the penalty spot to deliver a well-deserved win in PSG’s first game since the World Cup.

Lens will nonetheless be delighted to see Galtier’s men struggle, although they also did well in Thursday’s goalless draw against Nice. Haise’s side entered the World Cup truce after five consecutive Ligue 1 wins and hope the result is not the first sign that their title momentum has been lost in Qatar.
