Bordeaux vs. Paris Saint-Germain 11/6/21 Ligue 1 Soccer Pick, Odds, and Prediction

Bordeaux is hosting PSG at Matmut Atlantique in round 13 of the French Ligue 1. Bordeaux has only 1 loss in their last 7 games, but they also have only 1 win during that period. PSG is undefeated in their last 5 games, but they are having a tough time in the Champions League this season.

Despite their solid result as of late, Bordeaux is still in the bottom half of the table, in a low 16^th place with 12 points, 16 scored goals, and 24 conceded goals, which is an average of 2 conceded goals per game. Bordeaux hasn’t been scoring a lot of goals, and Ui-Jo is their leading goalscorer with 4 goals, but he is injured. Bordeaux was playing against Reims in their last game, and they have had 52% of ball possession in that match, 6 shots on goal, 12 corner kicks, 3 big chances created, and 83% of the correct passes. Overall, I think this was the best game of the season for Bordeaux, but it took a penalty kick in the 95^th minute for them to win this game. The final score was 3-2 in favor of Bordeaux. I know Bordeaux is close to the relegation zone now, but I think they will avoid that because they are good enough, they won’t avoid it by a lot, but they will.

PSG has a lot of injuries now, and Messi, Verratti, and Kimpembe are on the list, and they are all starters. PSG is in first place in Ligue 1, and that is the spot they won’t lose again this season in my opinion, but their goal in the Champions League, and they are getting sloppy in that competition. In their game against Leipzig earlier this week in the Champions League, PSG has had 46% of ball possession, 4 shots on goal, 4 corner kicks, 4 big chances created, and 82% of the correct passes. From the get-go, PSG was under pressure, and after they conceded a goal early in this game, they also conceded a penalty, which Donnarumma saved. PSG did get the lead by halftime, but Leipzig has scored a late goal, and the final score was 2-2. The most important thing for PSG now is that Mbappe is not injured because he leads the team with 6 goals and 5 assists, and without Messi, he will need to step up once again. I know PSG is winning, but I think they are eagerly waiting for the international break to give their injured players some time to heal, and they will surely need them in December.

The trends are mixed in this matchup, but Bordeaux is very far from its golden days. There is only 1 choice here, and that is PSG. Yes, Bordeaux might get on the scoreboard, but PSG is going to score at least 2 or 3 goals here.
