Stade Josy Barthel, Luxembourg - The newest club to have been bought by a mega-rich owner, Paris St Germain, will be aiming to get their first win in a competitive game on Wednesday night, as they take on the Luxembourg side Differdange 03.
Paris have not started the Ligue 1 season how they would have hoped, with a home loss to Lorient and a draw against Stade Rennes all they have to show for their spending. They are currently languishing in fifteenth place in the league, and their fans have yet to see their marquee signing Javier Pastore. PSG fans will be expecting nothing less than a resounding win, and they are priced accordingly, with Ladbrokes offering a standout price of 1/8 on them winning the game. Differdange are at 25/1 with Victor Chandler to win the game, and the draw is best priced at 9/1 with Bet365.
In the correct score market, the favourite result is a 3-0 win for PSG, priced at 6/1 with Ladbrokes. A 2-0 win for the French side is at 13/2 with Bet365, and a 4-0 win is a general 7/1 shot. Paris can be backed at 10/1 to win 1-0, and are 12/1 with 888sport to win 5-0. A 1-1 draw is priced at a standout 22/1 with Bet365, and Differdange's best hope is a 1-0 win, which is priced at a huge 80/1 with Paddy Power.
On the half time / full time market, Paris / Paris is the favourite spot at a top-priced 4/9 with Stan James. Draw / Paris is at 4/1 with Boylesports, and draw / draw is at 16/1 with Bet365. Unusually, Differdange / Paris is next in the betting, priced at 33/1 with Ladbrokes, and Differdange / Differdange is at 75/1 with Paddy Power.
Unsurprisingly, the first goalscorer market is dominated by PSG players, with Kevin Gameiro favourite at 9/4 with Paddy Power. Mevlüt Erdinç and Guillame Hoarau are next, both at 13/5, followed by Nene at 7/2 with Paddy Power. Jeremy Menez is a general 4/1 shot, and Mathieu Bodmer is at 6/1.
Paris are the favourites to win the Europa League, priced at a general 12/1. Differdange are very likely to be knocked out by PSG, and are not listed in the betting for the whole competition. The second leg of this match takes place next Thursday.
