Lille – FC Girondins: 25th February 2017

Lille OSC (14th)

Officials in northern France the group made a very interesting move before the 26th round, putting him at the helm of the team Franck Passi, due to which the Marseille pleasantly surprised in the first part of the championship. Desired effects occurred immediately, “Les Dogues” extremely important a win on his land Caen (1-0). It was the third change in the technical bank operated by Lille this season.

Lille was well below the previous season when they managed to qualify for the Europa League. Suffering very much in terms of offensive band on “Stade Pierre-Mauroy” could not repeat past developments. Huge setback made the main objective at the moment to be avoiding relegation.

Frederic Antonetti was dismissed in mid-November in place or being named Patrick Collot (former second). The latter managed to improve things for a while, but Lille lost three games in a row in early February, sealing his fate. If we look over all the results, maybe Patrick would have deserved a better fate (six wins, four draws and five failures, two of them in front of defending champion PSG), but the situation in the ranking made the club bosses do not wait. So he joined Passi, a guy who has proven that can turn a mediocre band in one competitive.

FC Girondins de Bordeaux (7th)

About the band’s Jocelyn Gourvennec can say that is one of the most constant of French first league football. From mid-December only lost two matches in all competitions, both ahead of PSG!

During the recent excellent Bordeaux made it to be one of the teams who are struggling with real chances for qualification in the Champions League. More efficient in front of goal (an average of almost two goals in the previous ten official games) and defenses well organized group of “world capital of wine” is one of the most uncomfortable today.

Bordeaux was felt very good in the recent past and on foreign land, accounting for three wins and a draw in their previous four trips. Moreover, the last two of which were two definite successes that reveals itself in the present strength of the band’s Gourvennec: 4-0 vs. And 2-0 vs. Caen Nancy. Moreover, he managed to win without emotion and last weekend: 3-0 vs. Guingamp on “Matmut Atlantique”.
