Lorient hosts Paris Saint-Germain in round 22 of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Sunday, January 31st at Stade du Moustoir (Lorient)
For Lorient, the stay in the elite is taking place with a bitter aftertaste of defeats and sad prospects of returning to the second echelon. Les Merlus were not ready for a new level of competition - only 15 points scored and the penultimate line in the standings. Christophe Pelissier is trying to rectify the situation by working in the transfer market, but the team lacks the quality of personnel. Lorient has only several footballers who are capable of playing in the elite and doing it well. It is unlikely that performers such as Moffi, Wissa, Le Fee, and Grbic will remain in the team if it is relegated. They will probably be in demand from other elite clubs.

The capital club returned to the leading position in the championship, having held three victorious matches in a row. Pochettino is gradually rebuilding the team's game according to his tactical vision, and the 4:0 victory over Montpellier already looks like a convincing result for the grandee of national football. The main thing that the Argentine specialist did was to improve the defense - three matches without a single goal conceded. Now PSG has to prepare for an important segment in the championship and the Champions League playoffs. We did not see any sensational personnel decisions from Pochettino. The game of the team is determined by all the same faces (Mbappé, Neymar, Icardi, and Verratti). Keylor Navas works almost flawlessly between the sticks. PSG's roster is still the most powerful in France, and the coaching staff has opportunities for quality rotation.
The capital club is in excellent shape, performs flawlessly in defense, and is trying to break away from the main competitors in the fight for the champion’s title. Pochettino's charges are beginning to resemble the dominant force in national football again. Lorient does not match the level of the elite division so far - many mistakes in defense and lack of stability in most of the game components. Therefore, we think that the visitors will manage to win with a solid goal difference.
Prediction for the match: Paris Saint-Germain to win with -2.5 handicap
