PSG vs Lorient LIVE: Parisians aim to begin Ligue 1 title defence with win

The 2023-24 Ligue 1 season kicks off this weekend with the first round of fixtures. In a critical match on Saturday, Lorient will meet Luis Enrique's outstanding PSG side at the Parc des Princes.

PSG vs Lorient LIVE: The 2023-24 season of Ligue 1 begins this weekend with the first round of fixtures. On Saturday, Lorient will face Luis Enrique’s excellent PSG side at the Parc des Princes in a crucial match. Lionel Messi, who has left for Miami, will be missed by Parisians. They will also be without Kylian Mbappe, who has been given the cold shoulder.

Lorient finished 10th in Ligue 1 last season and have been plagued by inconsistency in recent years. The away team suffered a disheartening 2-0 loss to Bournemouth last week and will need to work hard to rebound back in this match.

PSG, on the other hand, won Ligue 1 again last season but have not been at their best this season. In their previous match, the Parisian giants easily defeated Jeonbuk 3-0. They’ll be looking for a similar result this weekend.
