PSG are on the verge of wrapping up Ligue 1 with four matches to spare. They will travel to Stade du Moustoir – Yves Allainment on Wednesday for a one-on-one Ligue 1 clash against Lorient, with kickoff slated for 17:00 GMT.
Key Highlights
Lorient are Battling to Retain their Ligue 1 Status
Lorient have lost their last three matches in Ligue 1; in their last five outings, they have lost four times and drawn once. The one point collected from 15 has seen them rooted second-last on the Ligue 1 table with 26 points.
Lorient’s focus ahead of hosting PSG is to be compact and solid in their approach. The aim is to keep the game at 0-0 for as long as possible, defend doggedly, and attack PSG on the counter.
A win will add to their six wins this season in 29 attempts and bolster their chances of pulling an inside straight and surviving in Ligue 1 this season.
PSG Could be Crowned Ligue 1 Champions with a Win, and if Monaco Fail to Win on Wednesday
It has been apparent that PSG will be crowned Ligue champions at some point for a while now.
Their dominance in the league has allowed Luis Henrique to experiment with his squad in Ligue 1 matches as they prepare for life without Kilian Mbappe.
They lead Ligue 1 with 66 points, 11 points ahead of Monaco in second. A win at Lorient and Monaco failing to beat LOSC at Stade Louis II will see PSG crowned Ligue champions on Wednesday.
