Lorient welcome reigning champions PSG to the Stade du Moustoir for a Ligue 1 match this Wednesday.
Promoted Lorient currently sit in 16th place, while PSG are back in their usual spot at the top of the table after another win.
So can Lorient cause an upset this week, or will it be business as usual for the champions?
Lorient vs PSG Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Compared to many of their Ligue 1 counterparts, Lorient's recent record against PSG isn't too shabby. They've lost three of their last six meetings with the champions, but have also secured two draws, and beat PSG as recently as April 2023.
- Lorient will come into this match on a three-game losing streak, as they were well beaten by Angers this past weekend. The defeat was their fifth this season since their promotion, and it means they have not won in October.
- It was business as usual for PSG on Saturday, as they easily brushed aside Brest 0-3 in a straightforward win. Worryingly for their rivals, their attack appears to have hit top gear, as they have now scored 13 goals in their last three games.
- While Lorient's record of 12 goals scored is the best Ligue 1's current bottom six, their defence should probably be cause for concern. They have now conceded 21 goals, with only bottom side Metz conceding more, and they have not kept a clean sheet in their last eight games.
- PSG's form has been solid throughout the current season, but they have been especially impressive in away games, where they've won five of their seven matches, scoring 20 goals in total.
Lorient vs PSG Prediction
After losing to fellow strugglers Angers in disappointing fashion this weekend, PSG will probably be the last opponents Lorient would wish to face in this mid-week game.
Even at their best, the newly-promoted side would be almost guaranteed to find it hard against the champions. Their style is largely attacking and very open, meaning PSG's dangerous forwards could well have a field day.
Unless PSG somehow manage to have a terrible game, then, the only likely result here is an away win.
Prediction: Lorient 0-3 PSG
