Matchday 7 of Ligue 1 between Paris and Lorient will take place on October 3 at the Charlety Stadium. Paris vs. Lorient: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Paris
The team had a tough start to the current Ligue 1 season, but things have gradually improved. In the last round of the championship, Paris snatched a draw in the final moments of their away game against Nice. As a result, the club has lost only one of their last four Ligue 1 matches, although they had suffered two consecutive defeats before that. The team's scoring streak in the championship has reached five games. Moreover, Paris occupies 11th place in the standings.
- Both teams have scored in Paris's last five Ligue 1 matches.
- The club has yet to keep a clean sheet in this tournament's current season.
- Paris has won with a handicap (+1.5) in 12 of their last 13 matches in Ligue 1 and Ligue 2.
Predicted lineup for Paris (4-3-3)
Obe Nkambadio – Mustafa Mbou, Otavio, Amari Traore, Thibaut De Smet – Adama Kamara, Maxime Lopez, Pierre Le-Melu – Moses Simon, Ilan Kebbal, Willem Geubbels.
Lorient
Like Paris, the club is gradually improving after an unconvincing start in Ligue 1. Last weekend, Lorient unexpectedly defeated Monaco, who were the league leaders at the time of the match. Thus, Olivier Pantaloni's side secured their second win in six championship rounds, ending a three-match unbeaten streak in Ligue 1, and the Bretons avoided defeat for the second consecutive game for the first time this season. Lorient climbed to 13th place, but they remain the most unreliable team in the championship, having conceded 14 goals since the season's start.
- The Bretons have conceded in 7 of their last 8 games in Ligue 1 and Ligue 2.
- Lorient has not scored more than one goal in their last five away matches in these tournaments.
- The team has won with a handicap (+1.5) in 20 of their last 23 matches in the top two French divisions.
Predicted lineup for Lorient (3-4-3)
Yvon Mvogo – Abdoulaye Diagne-Faye, Montassar Talbi, Bamo Meite – Theo Le Bris, Arthur Avom, Laurent Abergel, Arsen Kouassi – Tosin Aiyegun, Karim Dermain, Mohamed Bamba.

Paris vs. Lorient: Match Prediction
This match features two of the most entertaining teams in Ligue 1. A total of 23 goals have been scored in Paris's matches this season, the same number seen in Lorient's games. Only Monaco has a higher tally (24). On average, 3.83 goals have been scored per match involving these future opponents. Meanwhile, Paris is gradually finding balance, which has allowed them to avoid defeat in 3 of their last 4 championship games (2 wins, 1 draw). Considering Ligue 1 and Ligue 2, Stefan Gilli's team has earned at least one point in 10 of their last 13 matches, and in 11 of these 13 games, at least 2 goals were scored. Additionally, Paris is very strong at home: the club has won 10 of their last 11 home games in the top two French divisions, scoring at least 2 goals in 8 of these 11 matches.
Lorient, however, consistently faces problems when playing away. The Bretons have not won in 6 of their last 8 away matches in Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 (2 draws, 4 losses), and their winless streak on the road in these tournaments lasts 5 matches. At the same time, considering all matches, at least 2 goals have been scored in Lorient's last 5 Ligue 1 games.
Prediction – 1X and total over 1.5
