2706
The champions are closing in on another Ligue 1 title with just six games left on the clock as Paris Saint-Germain play hosts to Lorient in the French capital with the league leaders within touching distance of securing the trophy.
PSG were looking like being dragged back into a tense title race in France's top flight after losing two home games in a row for the first time in seasons.
On the other hand, they now sit eight points clear of Marseille in second with there only 18 left to play for. It means the champions can wrap up the title in two games if results go their way.
Kylian Mbappe was the hero last time out once more after he scored two first half goals against Angers to record the 24th win of the season for the champions and their 75th goal of the Ligue 1 season.
It also means the Frenchman is on course for another top scorer award, having now netted 22 times this season and he sits one above Jonathan David.
It's also now three wins in a row for PSG, as Mbappe scored against Lens two weeks back alongside goals from Vitinha and Lionel Messi. In between these recent wins, the club defeated PSG after a finish from Messi and another goal from Sergio Ramos.
As for Lorient, their season has taken a tumble in recent weeks and without the services of Terem Moffi, who left in January for Nice on loan.
The club have not won in the past month since Bamba Dieng and Stephane Diarra scored a goal each in a 2-0 win at home to Troyes. A draw with Nice came soon after, alongside a draw at home with Marseille.
Lorient have lost three times in April already and are winless in the month, as Lille defeated them 3-1 before a 3-1 loss to Monaco and a 1-0 home defeat to Toulouse.
They are now down in 11th and behind Lille in fifth by 11 points and are unlikely to get into Europe now as a result with their hopes of getting into a continental competition looking strong earlier in the season.
In fact, Lorient are 30 points behind PSG, but this is still considerably better than their relegation fight from last season.
Forebet predicts another win for PSG in this one and for the game to see over 2.5 goals.
