In a mid week match on Wednesday Dec 22nd, in week 19, Paris Saint Germain will travel to Lorient to battle Lorient in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Ligue 1 teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 5 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. Lorient is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Rennes. Omari scored the first goal for Rennes in the 21st minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Lorient couldn’t muster any offence and Rennes ran away with the shutout win. Lorient looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 8 of their last 10, while 1st placed Paris Saint Germain is fresh off their 2-0 shutout win against Monaco. Kylian Mbappé struck first for Paris Saint Germain in the 12th minute on a penalty shot, then Kylian Mbappé added another in the 45th minute on a feed from Lionel Messi In the end, Monaco couldn’t muster any offence and Paris Saint Germain ran away with the shutout win. Paris Saint Germain should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 21 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match together, in Stade Yves Allainmat – Le Moustoir, Paris Saint Germain took the match by a score of 1 to 0 in front of almost 14000 spectators. Pablo Sarabia scored the first goal for Paris Saint Germain in the 80th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Lorient couldn’t manage to score, and Paris Saint Germain took the shutout win.
Kylian Mbappé has been on a hot streak lately. In the last 5 games, the attacker has scored four goals for Paris Saint Germain.
Lorient will be without Jérémy Morel, Lemoine and Moritz Jenz, while Julian Draxler and Neymar are unavailable to play for Paris Saint Germain.
