With their European aspirations in tatters for another season, PSG return to domestic action on Sunday afternoon with a Ligue 1 clash with Bordeaux.

It will be tough for Mauricio Pochettino's side to recover mentally from the disappointment of their Champions League capitulation against Real Madrid on Wednesday evening, but a home clash against the bottom side in the French topflight should provide them with a good opportunity to get back to winning ways.

PSG vs Bordeaux latest odds

The Parisians have not lost a home league match for 11 months and bet365 offer them at 1/7 (1.14) to pick up three points.

Bordeaux for their part have lost six of their last nine matches and have by some distance the worst defence in the division.

The visitors are priced at 14/1 (15.00) with the draw at 7/1 (8.00).

PSG vs Bordeaux first goal scorer

Kylian Mbappe's superb individual performance at the Bernabeu in midweek was not enough to avoid a humiliating elimination for PSG, with the striker breaking the deadlock against Madrid only for the side to concede three goals in 17 second half minutes.

Mbappe is priced at 12/5 (3.40) to score first, with the same odds quoted for Lionel Messi while Neymar is offered at 9/2 (5.50).

Hwang Ui-Jo is Bordeaux's top scorer this term with 10 league strikes and the Korean international is available at 14/1 (15.00) to score first in Paris.

PSG vs Bordeaux preview

It will surely be difficult for PSG to raise themselves for what should be a routine fixture against the division's basement club and there is likely to be a distinct lack of intensity to the Parisians' play.

Anything other than a home win would be a seismic shock and PSG's 13-point lead at the top of the table should stay in tact, although opposing their goal difference to radically improve could be of interest.

The visitors have a terrible defensive record yet PSG's lethargy and disappointment will be difficult to shake and having now lost three of their last four matches in all competitions, Pochettino's men are likely to be at a low ebb.

PSG vs Bordeaux tips and predictions

Under 3.5 goals in the game is offered at evens (2.00) and looks like a shrewd bet for Sunday's game in the French capital.
