Team News

Paris Saint Germain
  • Argentinian playmaker Javier Pastore will miss PSG’s first game of the season through suspension.
Lorient
  • Wesley Lautoa looks set to miss out for Lorient after sustaining a thigh problem, so Gregory Bourillon will move into the back four instead.

Prediction

  • It is difficult to look past a comfortable PSG win this weekend.
  • The Parisiens have added a number of superstar players of the summer, and the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ezequiel Lavezzi will surely prove to be too much for a Lorient side that has stagnated following a top half finish two seasons ago.
  • Carlo Ancelotti's men are clear favourites for the Ligue 1 title and they will start their campaign in the right way with an easy victory.
