League leaders Paris Saint-Germain will seek to win every game, this game is no exception
Only a positive result will be acceptable for Mauricio Pochettino’s men, following their recent away defeat at the hands of Nice in their last match.
Also, League leaders PSG keep finding ways to win, having secured 12 victories in their last 20 fixtures is astonishing this season, which has contributed significantly to reach the top of the table. 19 wins, 3 losses and 5 draws; That’s worth the number one spot in the League having won 19 games, drawn five meetings, and lost three matches.
Bordeaux travel to PSG, knowing that they have nothing to lose. The odds are not in their favour, as the home team has recorded 12 victories and one draw in the 13 home matches they’ve played so far this season.
The ultimate prize this season will be for Paris Saint-Germain to finish top of the Ligue 1 and secure automatic qualification for the Champion’s League. However, they must play each game as it comes and secure the points, if that is to be achieved.
Good atacking and defensive team
PSG have conceded 24 goals so far, so their defence can be considered to be strong. They have a good scoring average of 56 goals. Their stand out attacking players have been Kylian Mbappe (5), Danilo Pereira (4), and Marco Verratti (2).
Mauricio Pochettino will be forced to make changes to the plans for his squad, as injury or illness has depleted him of six of his PSG players.
David Guion’s Bordeaux, away to Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday, hoping to improve relegation prospects
This match gives David Guion’s Bordeaux 90 minutes to get their season back on track. Their last outing resulted in a 0-2 loss to Troyes, with a 1-1 draw against Clermont Foot before that. Only a positive result will be good enough.
Also, getting out of a relegation battle requires a string of positive results, but David Guion’s men know that nine losses in 15 games is a run of form that will be hard to turn around. Now they have 4 matches won, 13 games lost and 10 duels drawn; that’s why they currently sit in twentieth place, with a total of 22 points having won four meetings, drawn 10 matches, and lost 13 meetings.
It must be a worrying prospect for Bordeaux to go back on the road, with a bud run of away performances under their belt this season. So far they have only secured two wins, five darts, and six defeats to the home team.
Bordeaux will have secured 25 points so far this season, should they secure a win.
Bordeaux may have to resort to second choice players, given the number of first choice players that are now unavailable through injury, illness or suspension.
