The seventh day of Ligue 1 kicks off with a match between two promoted teams! Paris FC will face FC Lorient this Friday at 8:45 p.m. at Stade Jean-Bouin. However, they do not share the same ambitions for this season. After being bought out by the Arnault family a few months ago, the Parisian club expects to quickly secure its place in the top flight of French soccer. It remains in 11th place in the standings, having lost only once in its previous four games.
It's a different story for FC Lorient! Les Merlus are likely to fight to the end for their survival. After a very difficult period, they bounced back in the best possible way last weekend. The Lorient club defeated one of the big names in the French league: AS Monaco (3-1). This victory is a huge boost for Olivier Pantaloni's men, who have climbed to 13th place, level on points with their next opponents.

Our Paris FC vs Lorient Prediction
After a frustrating defeat against RC Strasbourg (2-3), Paris FC managed to get back on track by securing a draw away to OGC Nice (1-1). The Parisian club will now be the favorites in their upcoming match against FC Lorient. Admittedly, Les Merlus are coming off a hugely important victory against AS Monaco (3-2). However, they played more than one period with a numerical advantage. Before that, they had gone three games without a win. They could still struggle in the French capital.
Our prediction for Paris FC vs Lorient: Paris FC to win!
