Two clubs in opposite halves of the French Ligue 1 table will do battle today in a league match between FC Lorient and Paris Saint-Germain. The first-division battle scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET will be held at the Stade du Moustoir in Lorient and can be live streamed here free.
League leaders Paris Saint-Germain enter today's match following a tough week that saw the club capture three signature victories. Before dusting off German outfit Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Champions League, PSG asserted their lead in the French table with a 3-0 victory over Bastia. That was followed by a 2-0 victory over St. Etienne and led to glowing praise from boss Laurent Blanc (h/t to Sky Sports). "We had three matches in the last seven days, which is not easy to manage, and we recorded three wins over Bastia, Bayer Leverkusen and now St Etienne, another quality opponent, technically very good and courageous," Blanc said.
"Winning 2-0 is an excellent thing and a great way to cap off a very good week," he added.
With a focused return to league play, will PSG continue their dominant form when they visit the Stade du Moustoir? Tell us @SportsWN
