Match Preview
The Parisians welcome FC Lorient to the Parc des Princes on Sunday for this Ligue 1 match. Les Parisiens have the upper hand in the head-to-head, with 15 wins to FC Lorient’s eight, from their 29 encounters. However, Lorient come into this match unbeaten in their last two matches against PSG. This includes a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture back in December.
Les Rouge-et-Bleu lost their last league match away to AS Monaco FC. Expected goals of 2.5 to 1.5 in favour of Monaco indicates perhaps it was a fair result even if the scoreline was a little harsh.
You have to take your chances and Monaco did a good job in making the most of theirs. At the other end, Kylian Mbappe, Mauro Icardi and Achraf Hakimi all missed big chances to get PSG back into the game. Presnel Kimpembe also contributed to Paris Saint Germain’s problems when he handed Monaco their third goal from the penalty spot The final score of the match was 3-0.
After his big miss, Mbappe is now two goals behind in the chance to be Ligue 1 top scorer once again. He is still Paris Saint Germain’s top scorer with 15 goals in Ligue 1 this season and is the 1.5/1 favourite to score against FC Lorient on Sunday.
Their opponent on Sunday, FC Lorient, come into the match on a run of three away league games undefeated and kept a clean sheet in each of those three matches. They have picked up eight points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.
The Merlucciidaes’ last league match, at home to RC Strasbourg Alsace, ended in a dull 0-0 draw. Expected goals of 1.3 to 0.4 in favour of Strasbourg indicates Lorient were a little fortunate to escape from the game with a point. The Les Merlus fans will be particularly disappointed with the attacking performance with their side failing to create any big chances in the match and their only shot on target from inside the box came in the 91st minute.
Armand Laurienté is FC Lorient’s top scorer with just four goals in Ligue 1 this season and is 7/1 to score against league leaders Paris Saint Germain on Sunday.
