Lorient have lost five of their last seven league matches to nil
Paris Saint-Germain have won nine of their last 11 Ligue 1 away fixtures
Seven of PSG’s last ten games have gone over 2.5 goals
Lorient in trouble
Lorient are in real danger in the Ligue 1 relegation battle and may suffer another hammer blow on that front when they host Paris Saint Germain. The visitors, who have only lost once in the league all season, are nearing a title win and can move a step closer with a comfortable success.
The home team have the worst defensive record in Ligue 1, conceding 55 times in 29 matches, and that could be a major issue against a PSG team that have netted 69 times in the same number of matches.
Lorient have lost five of their last seven outings without scoring and could suffer the same fate again here to move them one step closer to the drop. Only Nice have conceded fewer goals than PSG’s 25 and they are taken to record a win to nil as they near another title.
Away win looks likely
With PSG fancied to win to nil, the question is how many goals the visitors will net. Seven of their last ten games have gone over 2.5 goals and Lorient lost 3-0 last time out, side with the Parisians to win this one by a scoreline of 3-0.
