Lorient – Paris FC

Lorient host Paris FC in what promises to be a pivotal clash in the league table, with the hosts sitting eighth on five points after one win, two draws and a loss, their goal balance level at four each. Paris FC arrive in good form, perched in fifth place with eight points from an unbeaten run of two victories and two draws, and they boast a superior +4 goal difference, having scored six while conceding only two. The two teams have already exchanged points and goals this season, but Paris FC’s tighter defence could prove decisive against a Lorient side that has struggled to find the net consistently. A win for Lorient would catapult them into the top half, while Paris FC will look to extend their unbeaten streak and close the gap on the leaders.
