Bordeaux – Evian

Bordeaux hosts Evian in a clash between the 3rd place and last place.

Bordeaux won 3 of the 5 matches played in Ligue 1 but in the last two rounds gained only 1 point and last weekend lost 2-1 at Guingamp. Bordeaux looks to have a nice offensive flow, scoring in all games so far, but the challenge for them is to be more careful defensively, because they also allowed at least a goal in each of the last 4 matches. Pellenard, Jussie and Saivet are long term injuries for Bordeaux. Fresh worries are Traore (definitely out) and Polo (uncertain).

Evian must pick up the pace quickly if they want to stay in the division. Visitors have only 1 point in 5 matches … strangely, it was a 0-0 draw with champions PSG. The offense of Evian is very poor with 3 goals scored but they have been even more poore in defense, conceding 13 times, including 3 times in last week’s 1-3 home defeat to Marseille. Good news for Evian is that they almost have a full squad to choose from: Angoula is the only injured player.

Yes, Bordeaux is the better team and especially the better team at the moment … but Evian is not so bad as the statistics suggest and if they held PSG to a 0-0 draw a couple of rounds ago they have a fighting chance everywere. Bordeaux can win but odds of 1.5 are too short. The focus for Evian will be to pick up a point they desperately need and to improve the defensive statistics, so they will look to defend in numbers today. I also think that Bordeaux will try to keep the first clean sheet in 5 matches so I can see this a low scoring game. Evian will defend, Bordeaux will attack with patience, and over the 90 minutes I don’t think we will see more than 2 goals. My tip will be under 2,5 goals. Correct score prediction: Bordeaux – Evian 1-0.
