PSG are not blowing teams away as usual in Ligue 1 this season but appear to be finding ways of getting the job done. Up next is a clash with inconsistent Bordeaux and they will fancy their chances of coming out on top.
Bordeaux are coming off a rare win as they saw off Reims 3-2 in their previous Ligue 1 fixture. They fought back from two goals down with an effort from Yacine Adil and a late brace from Jimmy Briand earning them the win.
It was the first win in six matches for Bordeaux, who are once again finding things difficult this season. The result was also good enough to ease some of their relegation pressure as they are now three points above the bottom three.
Defending has been a major problem for Vladimir Petkovic’s men, who have failed to keep a single clean sheet this season and were recently beaten 3-0 by Monaco. They should be in for a difficult night against PSG's forward line.
PSG have not been as exciting as they were last season and are playing with efficiency this term. They earned a come from behind 2-1 victory over Lille last time out in Ligue 1 with Marquinhos and Angel Di Maria getting the goals.
Despite not scoring as many goals this season, PSG are still arguably the best team in Ligue 1. Mauricio Pochettino’s men have lost just once all season and are currently eight points clear at the top of the standings.
Spanish defender Sergio Ramos remains sidelined with injury as PSG continue to struggle to keep things tight at the back. They have kept just one clean sheet in their last six matches across all competitions and their defensive problems came to the fore in the 2-2 draw with Leipzig in the Champions League on Wednesday.
