On Saturday, at 16:00, PSG will receive the Bordeaux visit in a match for the 24th round of Ligue 1. The game will take place at the “Parc des Princes” stadium in Paris.
Following the news that Neymar Jr. will miss a good piece of the lawn, including including the “double” of the UEFA Champions League against Manchester United, the PSG game has not shown itself as solid. Eliminated from the League Cup quarterfinals by Guingamp’s “red flashlight” and knowing for the first time the taste of defeat this season of Ligue 1 last weekend in Lyon (1-2), Paris is far from being chic with the image of the goal machine we all got used to. Moreover, Tuchel’s boys needed extra extra time to qualify in the quarter-finals of the French Cup on the third division, Villefranche. Putting all these clues together, we find that the PSG is far from proposing a weekend river score against Bordeaux, especially when next week a fire duel against Manchester United is waiting for it.
In the last ten direct confrontations between the two bands, PSG imposed itself six times, Bordeaux only once, while the other three disputes ended in equality;
In the previous five direct duels we record an average of over 4 goals / match;
The last direct match took place on the “Matmut Atlantique” tour, when the two teams drew spectacularly, score 2-2;
Probable teams:
PSG (4-3-3): Buffon-Meunier, Silva, Kimpembe, Bernat- D. Alves, Marquinhos, Draxler- Mbappe, Cavani, Di Maria
Bordeaux (4-3-3): Costil – Palencia, Kounde, Pablo, Sabaly – Tchoumen, Otavio, Sankhare – Preville, Briand, Kamano
Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a relatively balanced unfolding of hostilities. Even if we do not exclude the logical scenario of a host’s success, we believe the PSG will not have a gentle mission in front of an atypical adversary, which is going to take advantage of the fact that the Parisians will be thinking about the next Tuesday’s match on “Old Trafford” against Manchester United.
PREDICTION: Over 2,5 goals @ 1.45
