The upcoming match between Lorient and Paris Saint-Germain in the France - Ligue 1 is anticipated to be a chance for PSG to rotate the squad with only few matches left to claim the title of Ligue 1. Lorient, coming off a series of three consecutive losses in their recent matches, will be seeking to capitalise on the team’s recent favourable outcomes against the Parisian team, having a 0-0 draw in the first round and a 3-1 win in the second round of the previous championship. On the other hand, PSG will be aiming to maintain their dominance and secure a victory on Lorient's home turf, closing to Ligue 1 title after a successful UEFA Champions League performance.

Lorient vs PSG Preview 

Lorient Preview

Following their recent 3-0 defeat against Nice, Lorient finds themselves in a challenging position as they are currently on the unfavourable run of three consecutive losses. Lorient cannot win for 5 matches in a row, indicating that the teams will have quite a challenge to stay in Ligue 1 for the next season. With their previous match highlighting defensive vulnerabilities and a struggle to secure goals, Lorient will be motivated to regroup and address their shortcomings ahead of the upcoming fixture. As Lorient strives to climb the league standings and avoid relegation, the upcoming match against PSG presents a critical opportunity for the team to showcase their determination and ability to stay in the highest level of French football

PSG Preview 

As PSG prepares to face Lorient, they are poised to maintain their dominant position in the Ligue 1 table. With a comfortable lead at the top, PSG will be motivated to further solidify their standing by securing a convincing victory, which will draw the team one step closer to another Ligue 1 title. The potential returns of key players Presnel Kimpembe will bolster PSG's defensive line and provide additional depth to their squad. The second-leg match against Barcelona showed the resilience of the team and set up their spirits for the remainder of the season. Perhaps, this match will see Luis Enrique rotating the squad given that PSG is unlikely to miss the championship title.

Betting Tips for Lorient vs PSG

PSG Handicap -1.5

Given the poor form of Lorient, it is hard to see any chances for the team even amid the potential rotation. PSG have ended its last two matches, against Lyon and Barcelona, with the same score - 4-1. With PSG’s squad easily outclassing all of the French teams, the motivation for players can be to stop the current unfavourable run - only one win in the last three visits to Stade Yves Allainmat-Le Moustoir. Unibet gives 1.98 for this Lorient vs. PSG tip.

Both Teams to Score

With PSG almost a champion, the team’s results became indicative, showing that the team is fully concentrated on the Champions League, with the championship becoming a testing ground for giving the minutes to players who did not play much. This results in weakened connection between the players and cohesiveness in defence, with PSG conceding in its last 6 of out of 10 Ligue 1 matches. With there is little to add about the attacking capabilities of the team, the head to head to matches are also productive - both teams scored in the last 5 out of 7 matches. Lorient vs. PSG odds for this outcome, as defined by Unibet, are 1.75.

Goncalo Ramos to Score at Any Time 

Goncalo Ramos is the second best goalscorer of the team with 10 goals in Ligue 1. With Kylian Mbappe's potential departure to Santiago Bernabeu this summer, the 22-years-old Portuguese can become the next star in Paris, a possibility which is currently being tested on Ligue 1 grounds by Luis Enrique. Ramos is doing great, when he has his chances - four goals in his last five league matches. Lorient, thus, can become a great possibility for keeping this momentum going. For this Lorient vs. PSG tip, Unibet gives 2.30.
