Football Bet of the Day: Non-vintage PSG could struggle in Bordeaux

Bordeaux v Paris St-G
Friday 19:45 (Live on BT Sport Extra)

Adelaide 0 Perth 5 in Australia this morning. Bad news for Adelaide, and bad news for us.

We're spending our Friday night quietly in France. The big game from Ligue 1 takes Paris St-Germain to seventh-placed Bordeaux, where an away win would help the four-time reigning champs draw level with Monaco at the top of this year's pile. However, it could be a tighter game than many are envisaging: since 2011, 8/11 league encounters of these two have finished with Under 2.5 Goals.

Unai Emery's visitors have won three in a row on the road, but still can't claim to be in their very best form. They've scored just four times on five trips to other top-half outfits this term. Meanwhile, Jocelyn Gourvennec's hosts have scored only twice in their last five appearances at their very own Stade Nouveau.

In fact, 8 of Bordeaux's last 11 home games have finished with Under 2.5 Goals and, despite the exalted opposition, we fancy them to stay below the line again tonight.
