The Matchday 7 clash in Ligue 1 between Paris and Lorient will take place on October 3 at the Stade Charléty. 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 previous round, Paris managed a late draw away against Nice. As a result, the club has lost only one of their last four Ligue 1 matches, despite suffering two consecutive defeats earlier. The team's scoring streak in the league has reached five games. Additionally, Paris currently holds the 11th position in the standings.
- Both teams have scored in Paris's last 5 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.

Lorient
Like Paris, the club is gradually improving after an unconvincing start to Ligue 1. Last weekend, Lorient unexpectedly defeated Monaco, who were the table leaders at the time. This victory marked Olivier Pantaloni's side's second win in six league matches, ending a three-match winless streak in Ligue 1. The Bretons avoided defeat for the second consecutive time this season. Lorient climbed to 13th place, but they remain the most unreliable team in the league, 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 5 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.

Meanwhile, at least 2 goals have been scored in each of Lorient's last 5 Ligue 1 matches.
