Paris Saint-Germain, Recent FormLast time out, Paris Saint-Germain went away feeling content with a 2-1 away win against Angers They came away from that fixture with 66% of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Angers managed 16 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
Manager Christophe Galtier will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
They have had a good run of form at Parc des Princes recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games. It's been a good season so far with them having won 24 of their 32 league games.
On an individual basis, Kylian Mbappé will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 22 goals in Paris Saint-Germain's 32 league games this season.
Lorient, Recent FormThe Lorient squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 home defeat against Toulouse, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they had 53% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Toulouse who had 13 attempts and 4 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 5 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 8, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games. Based on their impressive scoring record, which includes goals in 14 of their away matches this season, their travelling support will feel confident of getting a good result on the road.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
On an individual basis, Ibrahima Koné will be looking to cause Paris Saint-Germain some problems having scored 3 goals in Lorient's last 6 away games in the league.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Lorient, losing 1-2 to Paris Saint-Germain.
PSG will be confident of finding the net in this one against Les Merlus, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 16 encounters between the two sides. In their last 3 away league games against Les Rouge et Bleu, Lorient have conceded a total of 12 goals and that's an average of 4 per game.
Lorient will be hoping to get at least a point from this game having lost the last 6 times they've visited PSG in the league and not won this away fixture at Parc des Princes for 7 games in a row.
PSG have been plagued by a number of long term injury problems with Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior (Ankle), Presnel Kimpembe (Achilles tendon) and Nordi Mukiele (Hamstring) all being out for the rest of the season. Also unavailable for Les Rouge et Bleu are Nuno Mendes (Muscle), Timothée Pembélé (Knee) and Renato Sanches (Groin), so manager Christophe Galtier will be has a bit of a selection headache going into this fixture and will be hoping no more of his players pick up a knock.
Régis Le Bris has a number of injury concerns in his Lorient squad to contend with: Julien Laporte (Knee), Théo Le Bris (Groin) and Jean-Victor Makengo (Knee)
