In a Saturday afternoon match, PSG (10 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw) will visit Bordeaux (2-4-6). The match is set to kick off at 4 p.m. ET and will be held at Matmut Atlantique. Below, we preview the Bordeaux vs. PSG odds and lines, and make our best Bundesliga bets, picks and predictions.
Oddly enough, PSG has actually struggled in league play recently. While its won two of its last four, each finished 2-1. The Parisians also have a draw and a loss across those four matches. It should get easier facing a lower-tier team in Bordeaux.
However, they’ll be with F Lionel Messi, M Marco Verratti, and D Sergio Ramos, three key players at each tier on the field. F Neymar and F Kylian Mbappe will still be in action, making PSG heavy favorites.
Bordeaux is currently outside relegation territory in 16th place.
Its undefeated in its last three matches, defeating Reims, the 17th placed team. Bordeaux averages 1.25 goals per game but is giving up 2 per game which could be a problem against an elite PSG attack.

Prediction
PSG 3, Bordeaux 1
Money line (ML)
PASS on the money line. It’s just far too pricey for PSG here, especially given who it’s missing and its current form.
Typically when PSG plays in Ligue 1, there’s little value on the money line. However, there’s also zero chance anyone would suggest taking the side opposite of PSG.
I would consider betting BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (-125) though. To be fair, it’s basically just a bet that Bordeaux will get on the board.
The home side has scored 16 goals in 12 games. With PSG struggling to defend well, giving up 11 in 12 games, it’s a much better wager than the very price money line.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET on the OVER 3.5 (+100) as PSG should have both Neymar and Mbappe in the lineup. That combination is lethal in the attacking third and should produce against a Bordeaux side that’s allowing far too many chances.
PSG is averaging over 2 goals per game, and taking on the third-worst defense in Ligue 1, I’d expect it to reach at least its season average if not more.
For Bordeaux, there are no reasons Hwang Ui-Jo won’t start. He’s had 4 goals in 9 games. If he’s in and PSG has their attacking duo, an attack-heavy game could be in store.
