FC Lorient - WLDLLL
Regarding absentees, there’s just the lone fitness concern for the FC Lorient boss Régis Le Bris to be concerned with from an otherwise complete group of players. Quentin Boisgard (Metatarsal fracture) won’t play.
We are thinking that Les Merlus will possibly line up in a 3-4-3 formation this time featuring Yvon Mvogo, Formose Mendy, Nathaniel Adjei, Souleymane Toure, Panos Katseris, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Imran Louza, Darline Yongwa, Julien Ponceau, Mohamed Bamba and Ayman Kari.
FC Lorient will be wanting a better result here following the 3-0 Ligue 1 losing effort in their last game against Nice.
In that match, FC Lorient had 49% possession and 9 shots on goal with 4 on target. On the other side, Nice had 19 shots at goal with 10 of them on target. Morgan Sanson (22'), Jérémie Boga (53') and Evann Guessand (90') scored for Nice.
FC Lorient have not been in good attacking form in more recent games. Their sum of goals stands at just 4 vs opposing sides over the course of their last 6 matches. In those meetings, FC Lorient have also seen the tally of goals that have gone against them total 11. That sort of trend isn’t assured to be carried forward into this next game, though.
Their past results show that FC Lorient: are unbeaten in the league by Paris Saint-Germain in their previous 2 matches, have not won at home in their last 3 league games.
Paris Saint-Germain - WWDLWW
PSG boss Luis Enrique has multiple availability issues to deal with. Sergio Rico (Fitness) and Presnel Kimpembe (Achilles tendon rupture) are not ready for selection.
We reckon that Les Rouge-et-Bleu seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-3-3 formation, settling for Gianluigi Donnarumma, Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Lucas Hernandez, Nuno Mendes, Vitinha, Warren Zaire-Emery, Kang-In Lee, Ousmane Dembele, Kylian Mbappe and Bradley Barcola.
PSG head into the clash after a 4-1 Ligue 1 win as they beat Lyon in their last fixture.
In that match, Paris Saint-Germain managed 63% possession and 14 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. For Paris Saint-Germain, goals were scored by Lucas Beraldo (6') and Gonçalo Ramos (33', 42'). Lyon got 16 attempts on goal with 6 on target. Nemanja Matić (3' Own goal) and Ernest Nuamah (37') scored for Lyon.
In their last 6 clashes, Paris Saint-Germain have amassed a total of 14 goals. Paris Saint-Germain have also not failed to score on each one of those occasions. Over that period, their defenders have seen 6 goals scored by their opponents.
Looking at the pre-match facts, Paris Saint-Germain: have not been beaten by FC Lorient in games played away from home for the previous 2 matches in the league, are undefeated in their last 21 league matches away from home. What a run it has been.
Lorient possible starting lineup:
Mvogo; Mendy, Adjei, Toure; Katseris, Bakayoko, Louza, Le Bris; Ponceau, Kari; Bamba
Paris Saint-Germain possible starting lineup:
Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Skriniar, Hernandez; Ugarte, Vitinha, Zaire-Emery; Dembele, Ramos, Mbappe
Lorient vs Paris Saint-Germain Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
*With 21 wins from the last 36 meetings between the sides, Paris Saint-Germain boast a superior record in the history of this fixture.
*Lorient have picked up eight wins in that time, while the spoils have been shared on seven occasions.
*PSG are the only side yet to suffer defeat away from home in Ligue 1 and currently boast the division’s best point tally on the road (34).
*Lorient have lost their most recent three home games and have won just one of their last nine matches at home, losing six and picking up two draws since the start of November.
Prediction: Lorient 1-3 Paris Saint-Germain
Despite picking up four points from their last two Ligue 1 meetings with PSG — a 3-1 win in Paris in April 2023 and a goalless game in this season's reverse fixture — Enrique's team should end that two-match winless sequence against Les Merlus on Wednesday, taking another step towards a 12th top-flight crown.
