Lorient vs PSG Prediction & Betting Tips (24 April)

Very quickly in difficulty this year after a rather successful last season, FC Lorient can no longer hope for anything other than maintenance at the end of the financial year. And the task does not look easy for the Breton club which is still in the red zone, in 17th position in the ranking, 3 points behind the first non-relegation team. Despite an interesting return after the winter break, the Merlus were unable to maintain their good momentum and they remained on 4 defeats in 5 matches played against Lyon 0-2, Monaco 2-2, Brest 0-1, Montpellier 2-0 and Nice 3-0, last Friday. Opposite, it is only a matter of time before PSG wins a new French champion title. He could even be crowned this Wednesday if he wins and at the same time, Monaco does not win against Lille.

Under the leadership of Luis Enrique since last summer, the capital club is doing much better than last year by maintaining a very comfortable lead over its first pursuers despite a draw conceded against Clermont 1-1 a few days ago. This disappointment was quickly swept away by a clean and flawless victory obtained Sunday evening against OL 4-1. Better yet, the Ile-de-France residents have won their ticket to the final of the Coupe de France. And they validated their ticket for the last four of the Champions League by winning against Barça last week 1-4 after losing the first leg 2-3 at the Parc.

Midfielder Boisgard, and potentially starting defenders Igor Silva and Talbi still fill the ranks of the Lorient infirmary currently. They were joined more recently by the former Marseillais Dieng and the midfielder Abergel. Otherwise, Régis Le Bris will be able to count on his main offensive cartridges to tackle this meeting which promises to be quite delicate. Unsurprisingly, striker Bamba (6 goals), who arrived in the winter transfer window and who had helped to relaunch this team, should start up front while the promising Kroupi (17 years old, 5 goals) could take his place on the bench and enter at the end of the match. The experienced Benjamin Mendy and Bakayoko will also be in the group. As for many months, goalkeeper Rico and long-term injured defender Kimpembe will not be part of the group.

The very little used Kurzawa should also be absent. On the other hand, midfielder Ugarte and senior defender Lucas Hernandez, who were both suspended on Sunday evening against OL, will be authorized to play again. By far at the top of the Ligue 1 scorers ranking, Kylian Mbappé (24 goals and 6 assists) will be present but we will see if Luis Enrique starts him after he left him on the bench on Sunday in the company of the formidable Dembélé (8 assists). Also making the trip to Brittany are the interesting Kolo-Muani (6 goals, 4 assists), Barcola (2 goals, 6 assists), Gonçalo Ramos (10 goals), Asensio (4 goals, 4 assists) and Vitinha (7 goals, 4 passes).
