During this period, the club drew at home against Brest (3-3) and suffered goalless defeats away to Paris (0-2) and Angers (0-2). Overall, they have only managed two wins after 9 rounds.

PSG
Last week, the Parisians played away against Bayer in the Champions League and thrashed the Germans 7-2. Buoyed by this victory, the team returned to France and comfortably defeated Brest away in the national tournament (3-0). This win put the club back at the top of the standings, one point ahead of their nearest rival. PSG is unbeaten in their last four league matches (2 wins and 2 draws).
- The Parisians have won 8 of their last 11 Ligue 1 matches (2 draws and 1 loss).

Match Prediction: Lorient vs. PSG
The Parisians have suffered 1 defeat and drawn twice in their last five rounds. These setbacks allowed several pursuers to close in, and the team even lost the lead for one round. Luis Enrique's side aims to increase their lead by overcoming opponents from the lower half of the table. I believe PSG will have no problems in this match and will secure a confident victory.
Lorient scores frequently at home but delivers inconsistent results. In the 3rd round, they surprisingly lost 1-7 to Lille at their arena. If the Parisians play their attacking style, this match could also see an interesting scoreline. In their last meeting with this opponent at their ground in the league, PSG achieved a convincing 4-1 victory.
My prediction – PSG with a handicap (-1.5)
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their previous match in this tournament.
