FC Lorient vs Paris Saint-Germain: Prediction for the Match on October 29, 2025

French giants, Paris Saint-Germain, will aim to cement their position at the top of the table when they make the trip to Stade du Moustoir to lock horns with FC Lorient in the tenth round of Ligue 1. PSG won 4-1 in the sides' most recent away meeting in April 2024. Who's going to come out on top? Let us check out the match preview, team news, and betting odds to place your bets!

FC Lorient: Form and Statistics

Form: LDLWD

Lorient's return to the top flight after one season away hasn't brought much delight. Located in the bottom three, the home team occupies 16th place in the league standings and are one point ahead of the relegation zone.

After recording their second win of the season in a shock 3-1 home win over Monaco, the Merlucciidaes have found wins hard to come by. What followed was a disappointing three-match winless run, recording two losses and a solitary draw. Their recent defeat came against Angers on Sunday, with the team dropping points in a 2-0 away defeat.

Olivier Pantaloni's men now return to the Stade du Moustoir. This is where the heart has been as they've performed much better compared to their erratic away form. At this venue, seven points have been accumulated from their last four games (W2, D1, L1). Notably, they are unbeaten in their last two games.

FC Lorient: Team News

Abdoulaye Faye did not take part in Sunday's clash against Angers because of a suspension. The 21-year-old had reached the yellow card threshold and was expected to sit out one game. However, he won't be making his return as he has now sustained a foot injury.

Joining him in the injury room are three other players, including Isaak Toure (knee injury), Bandiougou Fadiga (ankle injury), and Panos Katseris (thigh injury).

Long-term absentee, Trevan Sanusi, remains questionable for the upcoming clash. The 18-year-old forward has yet to take part for his club this season as he continues to lack match fitness.

🔖 Probable Starting XI (3-4-2-1): Mvogo; Yongwa, Talbi, Igor Silva; Le Bris, Avom, Abergel, Kouassi; Makengo, Pagis; Bamba.

⛔️ Out: Abdoulaye Faye (foot injury), Isaak Toure (knee injury), Bandiougou Fadiga (ankle injury), Panos Katseris (thigh injury).

👤 Head coach: Olivier Pantaloni.

Paris Saint-Germain: Form and Statistics

Form: WDDWL

Paris Saint-Germain have performed below their usual standards in Ligue 1 this season. The French Giants, after nine games, have maintained a one-point cushion at the top. Comparing the side that was crowned champions in the previous season, they should be miles ahead by now. Two draws and one defeat have hindered such a progression from happening.

The Parisians managed to end their two-match draw streak in the league last time out against Brest. It was a dominant performance from the defending champions as they secured a decisive 3-0 away victory. Achraf Hakimi was the man of the hour as he bagged a brace in the first half before substitute Desire Doue hammered the final nail in the coffin with an effort of his own in the dying embers of the game.

On the bright side, Luis Enrique’s side have avoided defeat in their last six matches across all competitions since a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Marseille on September 22nd. During this period, they had notable wins against Barcelona (1-2) and Bayer Leverkusen (2-7) in the UEFA Champions League.

Paris Saint-Germain: Team News

Paris Saint-Germain have no new major injury concerns as they gear up for Wednesday's visit to Lorient. Regular absentees Joao Neves and Fabian Ruiz will sit out this one. The duo is nursing muscle injuries.

After bagging a brace against Brest last time out, Achraf Hakimi will not take part in this match as head coach Luis Enrique has rested the 26-year-old right back. We will likely see Lucas Hernandez being featured in the starting lineup as Hakimi's replacement.

🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-3-3): Chevalier; Mendes, Pacho, Marquinhos, Hernandez; Lee, Vitinha, Zaire-Emery; Barcola, Mayulu, Kvaratskhelia.

⛔️ Out: Joao Neves (muscle injury), Fabian Ruiz (muscle injury), Achraf Hakimi (rest).

👤 Head coach: Luis Enrique.

FC Lorient vs Paris Saint-Germain Match Prediction 29 October 2025

FC Lorient have gone three league outings without a win, which is concerning as they take on a Paris Saint-Germain riding high on confidence. Their performance in this fixture offers no reprieve, having lost three of their last five matches. However, during this run, they scored in four of those outings. That's enough for me to believe they can get on the scoreboard in this clash.

Paris Saint-Germain's defense tends to be shaky at times, and a clean sheet is out of the question. In their last seven away matches across all competitions, they've maintained one shutout. I see them conceding a goal in this upcoming encounter, but their win shouldn't be doubted as they enter this match riding a two-match away winning streak. That said, a win for the visitors combined with both teams getting on the scoreboard is what I'm going with here.
