Paris Saint-Germain out to set new club record against Lorient

Paris Saint-Germain will be aiming to write a new chapter of club history when they face Lorient at the Stade du Moustoir on Sunday lunchtime in Ligue 1.

Christophe Galtier's side have unsurprisingly been the early pace-setters in the French top flight as they look to retain the title they wrestled back from Lille in 2021-22.

Les Parisiens have had a remarkable streak of defensive form on the road to thank for their blistering start to the season, as they have kept clean sheets in each of their last five Ligue 1 away matches.

Should PSG prevent Lorient from finding the back of the net in Sunday's fixture, it will mark the first time in their history that they have kept six successive Ligue 1 clean sheets away from home.

Galtier's side have recorded consecutive shutouts against Toulouse, Nantes, Lyon, Reims and Ajaccio on their travels, although they have conceded to Maccabi Haifa and Juventus away from home in the Champions League.

PSG have taken 35 points from their first 13 games of the campaign to sit at the top of the table, but Lorient have enjoyed a phenomenal start to the season under Regis Le Bris.

Les Merlus enter the weekend in fourth place and eight points behind the reigning champions, although they have failed to win any of their last three games.
