PSG vs Lorient Ligue 1 Preview

PSG kicks off the 2023/24 Ligue 1 campaign against Lorient.  Bsstien Dechepey will be the on-field referee.

In previous meetings, PSG dominated the matchup, so they are the overwhelming favourites coming into this game. While PSG suffered a humiliating defeat against Lorient in the last clash, a home that the Parisians lost 1-3, they should be back here to avenge the embarrassment.

Kylian Mbappe is not expected to feature in this season opener after reports he is bound to leave the club. With that, we expect a front three of Marco Ascension, Hugo Ekitike, and Kang-In Lee on the Parisian's side.

Moreover, PSG are expected to field a 4-3-3 formation for this season opener while Lorient head coach, Regis Le Bris is expected to use a 5-5-1 formation, with Ahmadou Bamba Dieng as the sole striker.
