PSG vs Lorient Game Preview, Odds, Live Stream, Picks & Predictions

Let’s check the latest news, stats, injury reports, and France League 1 for PSG vs Lorient. We’ve plenty of predictions for you to consider.

PSG Changes Every Week

PSG hasn’t been the same since losing to Real Madrid in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League. After the debacle at Santiago Bernabeu, the Parisians crushed Bordeaux 3-0, but that was just a mirage.

Most recently, they lost 3-0 to AS Monaco, the team sitting in seventh place. Messi didn’t play, but that can’t be an excuse for such a talented team. Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, and Marco Verratti, to name a few, did play.

Curiously enough, it seems like PSG is more vulnerable when Gianluigi Donnarumma starts. And it’s very likely that the Italian will start this Sunday. Keylor Navas suffered a minor injury during the World Cup Qualifiers game between Costa Rica and USA. The only way for the Parisians to stop those kinds of comments is to get a resounding victory.

Playing at home is another reason for PSG to be heavily favored in the Soccer odds. The Parisians remain unbeaten with a 13-1-0 record. They scored three or more goals in three of their last five home games.

Lorient Trying to Avoid the Relegation Zone

Unlike PSG, Lorient won four points prior to the international break, allowing the Merlucciidaes to breathe a little. They currently sit in sixteenth place with 28 points, five more than Metz, the team sitting in nineteenth place.

Their last game was against another top five team, Strasbourg. It ended 0-0, but Lorient won possession with 51 percent and had better opportunities to score.

Regarding their last road game, the Merlucciidaes defeated Clermont 2-0 with goals from Ibrahima Kone and Leo Petrot. That’s good news because the team was depending a little too much on Terem Moffi and Armand Lauriente to score.

The visitors are offering a +1200 price on the sportsbook. Very tempting considering that the payout for a victorious $100 bet would be $1300. They’re no strangers to pulling off upsets, or at least a draw, when playing as road underdogs. AS Monaco lived it recently. That’s right, the same team that recently crushed PSG 3-0.

The first meeting between these two also finished with an unexpected result. Lorient almost won, but Mauro Icardi saved the day with a goal in the last play of the game, which ended 1-1. The Parisians finished with 10 players after Sergio Ramos got a red card a few minutes before Icardi’s goal.

PSG owns an 8-1-1 record in its last 10 encounters with Lorient. I know, that’s no surprise, but the total going over in seven of those games is. Especially because Lorient scored less than one goal per game.

PSG vs Lorient Prediction

PSG’s players want to win the Ligue 1 title as soon as possible to focus on the 2022 World Cup. Especially Messi, because Qatar 2022 will be his last chance to lead Argentina to its first world title since 1986.

Beating Lorient would bring them even closer towards that goal. With that in mind, I expect the Parisians to have no mercy on Lorient, just like they didn’t with the other teams sitting in the bottom five. The visitors will score, though, helping the total to go over, which is precisely my football prediction.

Score Prediction: PSG 3, Lorient 1

Pick: Over 3½ at +105
