In order to start 2020 with a better countenance, this Friday the cast of Bordeaux jumps to the stamped of the Stade Matmut Atlantique, where for 32nd finals of the French Cup he receives the visit of a Ligue 2 team such as Le Mans .
Bordeaux:
Bordeaux finished 2019 in a mixed way, and we say this because those led by Paolo Sousa were doing things very well in the months of October and November where they did not lose in their six games with four of them ended up in victories, raising them to third place, scoring a total of 14 goals at this time and they seemed unstoppable, but everything fell apart when they traveled to Marseille and fell by a clear 3-1 against Olympique Marseille which brought with it a run of four consecutive defeats which includes the defeat by 2 -0 against Brest who left them out of the knockout stages of the Coupe de la Ligue.
Thus, Bordeaux not only closed the year 2019 with four defeats, but they could barely score a goal in those four games, so it is expected that they have taken advantage of this stoppage for the Christmas holidays and thus start 2020 with a victory and what better for Les Girondins to start at home where they have won four of their last five games.
Le Mans:
The last Cup games for Le Mans was a 1-4 home loss to PSG in the round of 16 of the Coupe de la Ligue, but they hope to show themselves better here. Despite the loss to the capital’s club, Les Mucistes are in good shape with three wins in their last four games.
The best thing for Le Mans has been the offensive block, since they have scored nine goals in these four games, but one point to keep in mind is that they faced teams of a low level, and even two of their last three wins were given against teams like Paris FC and Orléans who are the last two classified in Ligue 2 of France, while the other win was against a team of a lower level such as Les Herbies, who faced him in the previous round of this tournament and that beat him even in overtime.
Thus, against better teams like Châteauroux and Le Havre they had a bad time and in these results it is easy to see why Les Mans is currently in 15th place in Ligue 2 with the most goals conceded and only three points more than the Last team involved in the relegation zone.
As for his performance as a visitor, we can say that those led by Richard Déziré have lost six of their nine games in Ligue 2, and before a team of a higher level because we do not see that history will change much, and more before a Bordeaux against whom he has lost six of the last seven direct clashes.
PREDICTION: Over 2,5 goals @ 1,88
