Paris Saint-Germain F.C. vs FC Lorient Prediction 12 August 2023

In the first round of Ligue 1, the reigning champions PSG will test the strength of the modest Lorient.

Successes over Le Havre (2:0) and Jeonbuk Motors (3:0), a goalless draw with Al-Nassr, as well as defeats 2:3 from Cerezo Osaka and 1:2 from Inter - PSG's pre-season was not the most successful. Let us remind you that in the 2022/23 season they earned 85 points with a goal difference of 89:40, which was enough for another league title.

At the same time, Lorient, with 55 points and a 52:53 goal record, finished tenth, which fully corresponded to the level of their ambitions. In the summer, Les Merlus lost 0:2 to Bournemouth, but at the same time they adequately performed against their compatriots - Concarneau (3:3), Guingamp (2:2), Le Havre (2:0) and Nantes (3:1).

Both teams have an impressive attacking potential, so we expect a real scoring extravaganza in their head-to-head meeting. And PSG in the first match under Luis Enrique will do everything possible to start with a victory.
