On Saturday, August 12, 2023 Paris Saint-Germain will compete against Lorient in the Matchday 1 of the Ligue 1 match. Watch here, Paris Saint-Germain vs Lorient live streaming, preview and how to watch it.
PSG will host Lorient at the Parc des Princes on Saturday, 12 August in their 2023/24 Ligue 1 opener. This is the first game for PSG’s new coach, Luis Enrique, who is expected to take his team to a higher level. However, he had to face many challenges, both on and off the pitch.
PSG is experiencing many problems regarding the future of several key players such as Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, who have not yet decided whether they will stay or leave. This of course interfered with their preparations for the new season. Under the tutelage of Luis Enrique, PSG won only two wins, one draw and two defeats from five trial matches.
Apart from that, PSG also could not field several other star players such as Marco Verratti, Hugo Ekitike, Renato Sanches and Juan Bernat for various reasons. Nuno Mendes, Presnel Kimpembe and Nordi Mukiele are also still recovering from injury. Therefore, Luis Enrique had to put up a somewhat unfamiliar formation in this first game. He is likely to field several new players such as Milan Skriniar, Lucas Hernandez, Manuel Ugarte, Marco Asensio and Lee Kang-in in the PSG first team.
On the other hand, Lorient is a team on the rise in Ligue 1. After promotion in the 2019/2020 season, they managed to finish in tenth place last season with 15 wins from 38 matches. Coach Regis Le Bris has built a solid and compact team. They have also been in fine form this summer going unbeaten in four friendlies, including two wins over Le Harve and Nantes.
Lorient also has good psychological capital to face PSG. They once beat PSG 3-1 at home to PSG in April thanks to goals from Enzo Le Fee, Darlin Yongwa and Bamba Dieng. Meanwhile, Achraf Hakimi received a red card from the hosts. This victory will definitely give motivation to the visiting team.
Lorient also has no significant injury or suspension problems. They are ready to provide fierce resistance to PSG. They have a few names that could make the difference in this match such as Montassar Talbi, Vincent Le Goff, Laurent Abergel or Bamba Dieng, the former Marseille forward who only joined the club at the start of the year.
Even so, PSG is still a stronger and more experienced team than Lorient. They have a lot of quality players who can make a difference on the pitch. Luis Enrique is also looking to prove himself to be the right coach for PSG by picking up his first win in front of his home crowd.
