Prediction: 1-2
PSG
Buoyed by a 4-1 win over Lyon, PSG will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Lorient in a postponed Ligue 1 fixture. Les Parisiens rested the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele, and Fabian Ruiz in the Ligue 1 derby, but the trio is set to return to the starting XI on Wednesday evening. Both Manuel Ugarte and Lucas Hernandez are back from suspension.
Les Merlus, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Nice and even though they are fighting for survival, away win should be considered. In their last meeting at Stade du Moustoir PSG defeated Lorient 2-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. As for the home side, all Laurent Abergel, Bamba Dieng, Bonke Innocent, Igor Silva, Montassar Talbi, and Quentin Boisgard should miss out with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Kylian Mbappé):
Kylian Mbappe is a French footballer who plays for Paris Saint-Germain as a forward. The French rising star began his youth career at AS Bondy and in 2013 he moved to AS Monaco. After making 12 appearances for Monaco B, Kylian Mbappe made his debut for the senior team in 2015. Mbappe quickly established himself as a regular goalscorer, with the teenager finding the net 15 times in 29 appearances in the Ligue 1 in the 2016/2017 season.
In 2017 he moved to fellow French club PSG on loan, with the option of making the deal permanent. Kylian Mbappe scored 13 goals in 27 appearances for les Parisiens in the 2017/2018 and it has to be noted that Unai Emery’s troops eventually won the national championship.
Speaking of his international career, Mbappe played an important role for France at the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals, with the pacey rising star scoring a brace in a thrilling 4-3 win over Argentina in the last 16 of the showpiece tournament. The PSG attacker was born in Paris on December 20, 1998.
Highlighted Team (Lorient):
Founded back in 1926, Lorient is a French football club that competes in Ligue 1. Les Merlus have yet to win the Ligue 1 trophy, but they did well to go all the way in the Coupe de France in the 2001/02 season. In the title game, Lorient defeated Bastia thanks to Jean-Claude Darcheville’s goal.
The same season les Merlus made it to the Coupe de la Ligue final, but Bordeaux proved to be a big catch (0-3) for them in the title game. Lorient welcome their rivals at Stade du Moustoir, the stadium which can hold up to 16,392 spectators. The colour of the team’s home shirt is orange with a little black on it, while white is the dominant colour of their away jersey. In the 2002/03 season Lorient represented France in European competitions.
Les Merlus, though, failed to impress on their debut in the UEFA Cup as they were beaten by Denizlispor in the round 1 double-header.
