Lorient - PSG

France Ligue 1 - Stade Yves Allainmat-Le Moustoir

These are two sides who are fighting at opposite ends of the table, although it's even hard to describe PSG as fighting anyone with their dominant 12-point lead at the top of the table. For Lorient, however, they are three points from safety and just five games left to play, so now is the time to claim a major scalp.

Lorient vs PSG prediction: Now or never for the hosts

Key stats

• PSG have not beaten Lorient since November 2022
• It's just one home league win for Lorient this year
• Les Parisiens have scored eight in their last two away league matches

Pre-game odds and win probability: PSG tipped to brush aside Lorient

Home: 7/1 (8.0) – 12.5%

Draw: 19/5 (4.8) – 20.8%

Away: 4/11 (1.36) – 73.3%

While Lorient have taken four points from the last two matches against PSG, it would be a huge shock given the form of both sides, if the Ligue 1 leaders didn't pick up the win. This is why we'd advise looking at our free betting tips instead of punting on the outright winner market.

It would take something outlandish to see us back the outright winner in this market but perhaps a -2 handicap or even larger could be the way to look at this particular clash.

Last five H2Hs: Recent history hasn't been in PSG's favour

Despite the gulf in talent and class on paper between these two teams, Lorient have often had PSG's number. Les Parisiens have failed to beat Wednesday's opponents on three of the last five occasions, including a rushing 3-1 loss last season.

Lorient preview: Time is running out for the relegation candidates

PSG preview: A potential banana skin

PSG only need four more points to secure back-to-back Ligue 1 titles, but this one has been in a far more convincing fashion. However, Lorient won't just be rolling over for the champions-elect as they have battles of their own to face.

Predicted lineup: Donnarumma (GK) – Beraldo, Marquinhos, Skrinia, Mukiele – Zaire-Emery, Ruiz – Assesnsio – Lee, Dembele – Mbappe

Player to watch: Kylian Mbappe

After being rested for PSG's game against Lyon, Kylian Mbappe will be keen to get back out in Ligue 1 and consolidate his spot at the top of the goalscoring charts.

French international making up for lost time

Mbappe has never scored a goal away to Lorient for either Monaco or PSG, so now could be the perfect time to make up for it. Also, the fact that he wasn't even in the squad in the reverse fixture will ensure Mbappe looks to make his mark against Lorient.
