Bordeaux vs PSG prediction, preview, team news and more | Ligue 1 2021-22
The Ligue 1 is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as PSG take on Bordeaux in an important game on Saturday. PSG have been impressive this season and hold the upper hand going into this game.
Bordeaux are in 16th place in the Ligue 1 standings and have not been at their best this season. The home side edged Reims to a 3-2 victory last weekend and will want a similar result in this match.
PSG, on the other hand, hold an eight-point lead at the top of the league table and are the favourites to win the title this season. The Parisians were held to a disappointing 2-2 draw by RB Leipzig in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
