Lorient vs PSG tips and predictions

Celebrations not gauranteed for PSG fans

It's largely recognised that when these sides get underway they're likely to generate several goals.

The home win obviously won't have worried too many sportsbooks but the big price looks fun.

So how do they compare recently? Firstly, the hosts have registered 4 wins from 10 matches. With contrasting fortunes the visitors have lost 1 of their last 3 matches home and away. That doesn't look like the recent record of a side that is such a massive favourite. If PSG lose this it will go down as a crazy upset but with the prices on offer, it's worth looking further.

Lorient should expect extended periods of play without possession. If the hosts have the self-belief to get the job done it will be due to the confidence they gained from their recent performances. This home team is doing some good stuff and they've looked energised. They scored two or more goals in 6 of their recent 11 matches and that's been compounded at the back where they have conceded no more than once in 3 of their last 4 home games.

PSG have conceded at least once in all of their last 4 matches. To have any chance of the upset the underdogs must not hesitate in front of goal.

PSG will be keen to further justify their short price with a clean sheet at full-time. It is not a strong view among today's fixtures but the No BTTS bet seems like it will be the best play from that market. As for the goal line, it's Under 2.5 in this match considering the odds on offer.

The hosts can be pleased with their recent displays in all parts of the game and they'll need to hope that they can produce a highly motivated performance if they are to somehow deny the visitors.
