Today at the 'Stade du Moustoir', Lorient is preparing to host PSG, who secured the championship in the last round.

Lorient

Having finished in the 10th place last season, they are now in the relegation zone, lying in the 17th spot on the league table. After a loss against Lyon following a 0:2 scoreline, they had a 2:2 draw with Monaco. In the next match, they lost 0:1 to Brest. Subsequently, the lads succumbed to Montpellier with a scoreline of 0:2. And in the last round, they suffered their third defeat in a row, losing 0:3 to Nice.

PSG

This team is on a practically annual French championship winning streak. However, last season they had a slim lead with Lens trailing only by a single point. Now, the club has championed the league ahead of time, leading Brest by 11 points. After a draw with Reims (2:2), the lads then managed a decisive away victory against Montpellier with a scoreline of 6:2. In the next match, they managed to win over Marseille (2:0). Then, the team had a draw with Clermont (1:1). In the last round, they crushed Lyon with a score of 4:1.

Head-to-Head

In their last head-to-head encounter, which took place on August 12, 2023, the teams managed a 0:0 draw.

Prediction

This match situation isn't overly clear-cut. Having already won the championship, PSG might decide to take it easy, focusing all attention on the Champions League. The coach might field the second squad, given that the opponent is from the relegation zone. Lorient, needing points, might still have a fighting chance at their home ground. Bearing this in mind, I would take the risk to bet that the hosts will not lose.
