All eyes on Cabaye as Psg take on Bordeaux

It's a near season decider for both the teams

It's Psg vs Bordeaux at the Parc Des Princes.

 Parisiens look to get back on track after loss to Montpeiller and draw against Guingamp. With chances going begging in each game Laurent Blanc's side needs to regroup quickly as there not left with much of time with Monaco only 3 points behind them. With new signing of Cabaye there goes a lot of confidence in the team as he single-handedly can do wonders and can win a match for any side on  any day.While,Bordeaux would love to pile up pressure on their former manager Blanc and stun the home side. Bordeaux also need to get consistency back as they won only 1 of their last 4 league games but they were outstanding last Sunday when they defeated ASSE 2-0.  .

This is also a must win game for both teams as it can be called as a position decider match of the season for both the teams.

If Psg lose and Monaco win they will be same points and if they win they will be  guaranteed   3 points ahead of Monaco(If Monaco lose lead would be extended to 6 points)   .If Bordeaux win they will jump to the 5th place or 4th place (if they win by a margin of 3 goals or more)  in the table(they are now currently  7th with 31 points) for a day or so.

Parisiens a have not won against  Bordeaux on their home ground since 2010 and have won only 4 of the last 10 games versus their stiff opponents 

In the reverse fixture Psg won 2-0.Goals were scored by Matuidi  and Lucas Mora.

Team News

Psg will walk into the ground with the addition of Cabaye in their squad that makes their line up look more threatening  and dangerous. 

Veratti is suspended for this game. 

Jallet has a knee injury and Rabiot is also out with injury.These 2 players will be out for at least a month. 

Lavezzi has a groin injury and is doubtful.

Most probably,Silva will return after being out for 2 matches with a twisted ankle.

On the other hand,Bordeaux striker Diabate is out with a knee injury & Horau has been sidelined following  a thigh problem.

Defender Matthieu has a calf injury and he is also on the sidelines for Bordeaux.

Predictions

Psg are favorites but according to the form of both teams anything can happen and the game will present Bordeaux with an opportunity to retain their bid to qualify for the next season's Champions League.While,Psg need to win to maintain their lead over Monaco as they face them next Sunday

I predict a 2-1 win for Parisiens.
