Tip and bets
We are not expecting visitors to grab points in this outcome. PSG are in a little bit of a slump lately, but they are still two heads above their opponent. After a short break Paris side should be able to satisfy their fans with a quality performance.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-2) on PSG
We think that Paris club will be motivated to redeem themselves in front of their fans. Lorient will lock their defense up tight and rely on counter-attacks, but PSG should be able to eventually break through.
