Bordeaux needing a miracle in Paris
Bordeaux sit in 12th place in Ligue 1, whilst their opponents have a comfortable 10-point lead at the top of the table. Bordeaux are undefeated in their last five matches, winning two. However, they have not managed a home win during their last seven games. Bordeaux will be hoping PSG continue their current weeks form, having lost midweek and drawing at the weekend 4-4 with 19th placed Amiens.
Neymar in-line for first Ligue 1 star since January for PSG.
Neymar publicly slammed PSG boss Thomas Tuchel midweek following their 2-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund, for not being selected in recent weeks. Neymar’s 75th minute in the Champions League was not enough as Dortmund scored to take the lead two minutes later. The Brazilian will be hoping to regain his place in the starting XI in tomorrow’s game against 10th placed Bordeaux.
