Bordeaux – Lyon: 3rd March 2017

21:45 schedule an interesting duel in the French championship, where Bordeaux and Lyon will be the protagonist, following the two to meet on ‘Matmut Atlantique “, where I expect a spectacular duel, in which the goals will come in numbers larger.

Bordeaux is ranked second chance tonight, although the host band and has its own ground advantage, but it will face a stronger team that has better evolutions in this season. Girondist make a decent season, this time being in the top of the rankings, occupying fifth place exactly, with great chances to rank on a Champions League place. Jocelyn Gourvennec’s band has accumulated 42 points in the 27 rounds so far, managing 11 wins and nine draws, losing seven times in those games scoring 35 goals, two fewer receiving. Bordeaux is in a bad shape, the last 14 official matches suffering just two defeats, both against those of PSG.

Lyon on the other side is seen as the favorite by the bookmakers, which does not surprise anyone, is still a most valuable team, but that is part of a better season. In the championship standings French guests that showdowns are just above their opponent tonight, occupying fourth place, being away from the Champions League places on 13 points. In the 26 matches played so far in Ligue 1, the band’s Bruno Genesio has accumulated 46 points, contriving 15 wins and one draw, losing tenfold matches they scored 54 goals and received 31. Lyon is in good shape, coming after four consecutive victories in these scoring no less than 20 goals.

In general, disputes between Bordeaux and Lyon produce the show, six of last eight direct showdowns ending least three goals scored, and today we have every reason to believe we will have a similar outcome.
