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 easily overcame Brest away (3-0) in their national tournament. After this win, the club reclaimed the top position and leads the nearest rival by one point. It's also worth noting that PSG is unbeaten in four consecutive league matches (2 wins and 2 draws).
- The Parisians have won 8 of their last 11 Ligue 1 matches (2 draws and 1 loss).
- No more than three goals have been scored in 5 of PSG's last 6 league games.

Lorient vs. PSG: Match Prediction
The Parisians have suffered one defeat and drawn twice in their last five rounds. Due to these setbacks, several contenders have closed in on them, and the team even lost the lead for one round. Luis Enrique's side aims to widen the gap, and to do so, they need to overcome opponents from the lower half of the table. I believe that PSG will have no issues in this match and will secure a confident victory.
Lorient scores a lot at home but also delivers inconsistent results. In the 3rd round, the club suffered a shocking 1-7 home defeat to Lille. If the Parisians play in their attacking style, this match could also see an interesting scoreline. In their last encounter with this opponent on their home turf in the league, PSG claimed a resounding 4-1 victory.
My prediction – PSG with a handicap (-1.5)
