Bordeaux – Nice

Friday night football in France with Bordeaux hosting Nice in the first game of the Ligue 1 21st round.

Bordeaux is on the 6th place after a fantastic start in the league … but lately the hosts have been terrible: only one win in the last 5 games. But the recent poor performances are not so surprising considering the fact that Bordeaux lost a lot of players to injuries and now also remained without 5 other players who traveled to the African Cup of Nations. On the bright side Bordeaux showed improvement ant played better football in the last 2 games … 2-1 vs. Toulouse and 0-0 at Monaco. Team news for Bordeaux say that Diabate, Pellenard, Jussie, Khazri, Sane, Saivet, Traore, Poko and probably also Illori are unavailable.

Nice coming after an important 3-1 win vs. Lorient to end a run of 3 matches without a win and without a goal scored. Visitors are a decent side, swimming midtable on the 12th place, but all in all their form in the last couple of months is very poor … 2 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses in the last 10 games in all competitions. For today team news say that Nice will be without Pentecote, Delle, Traore, Digard, Bodmer and Palun. Eysseric and star signing Ben Arfa are questionable. Ben Arfa still did not get the green card from FIFA and will probably not be in the lineup.

Bordeaux has dropped in the standings and is missing a lot of players today, but they should still be able to come out with a win … hosts showed clear improvements in the last two matches and played good football even with all those missings … that will give them confidence for today. Nice is in worse form than Bordeaux, they are a worse team and they also miss a lot of key guys. Home court advantage also should make a difference. My tip will be Bordeaux to win. Prediction: Bordeaux – Nice 2-1.
