Lorient have a game in hand as they head to their home match against PSG in the 22nd round of Ligue 1. This clash features title contenders PSG who are top of the standings with 45 points against relegation threatened Lorient, placed 19th 15 points. Lorient hope with their game in hand, they can move a place up and will be motivated by their win in the last game. The hosts beat Dijon 3-2 to end a five-game winless run. They have no clean sheet in the last six matches and have conceded at least two goals in eight of their last 10 matches. Lorient’s matches have been high scoring, which could partly be attributed to their weaknesses in defence. They have produced over 2.5 goals in the last five matches, and have scored in each of the last four. In the last five matches, the team has conceded 14 goals and scored eight. The biggest impediment for Lorient here is based on the fact they have the second poorest defence in the league. The tally of 40 goals they have conceded so far is only better than bottom placed Nimes’.

PSG’s 4-0 win over Montpellier was their eighth game unbeaten and they have four straight wins ahead of this one. They have kept three clean sheets in the last four matches and conceded only two in the last five. This season was not as smooth as the others for PSG, and that has already seen a manager sacked. The new man, Mauricio Pochettino is so far doing well. PSG have lost just two of their last 15 matches and have scored 13 goals in five league matches, while conceding just one. In their last four away matches, PSG are unbeaten but two of them are draws. The champions have the best defence (11 conceded) and attack (48 scored) in the league.
