Bordeaux form and stats

Bordeaux's results here at Stade Matmut-Atlantique in the Ligue 1 have been very modest with 3 victories, 6 draws and 8 defeats.

Bordeaux lost their last game at Nantes (placed 10th) after a 3-5 scoreline. A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Nantes) as a comfortable lead 2-0 was completely ruined into a loss 3-5. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Briand for missing a penalty kick versus Nantes in the 88th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome. The attacker Niang won the honour of being "man of the match" for Bordeaux with the rating of 8.33/10. Niang scored one goal, served one assist and hit two key passes.

Before that, Bordeaux drew at home versus Saint-Étienne.

The Bordeaux fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 25 in 17 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 32 goals have been conceded.

Nice form and stats

Playing away, Nice have won 8 games, drawn 3 and suffered 6 defeats in the Ligue 1 this season. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Galtier, the Nice manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Impressive finishing from Thuram secured the home win 1-0 against Troyes in their previous game. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Galtier when Thuram scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 65th minute. Defender Dante was the best team player with a rating of 7.91. Dante hit one key pass and won 8 of 11 duels.

A 0-1 defeat away at Monaco before that.

Nice have scored 21 goals on their travels this season, from 17 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. It's not easy to score on Nice as they have only conceded 13 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

Bordeaux and Nice have duelled previously this season: Nice - Bordeaux 4-0. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: one - four - five (Bordeaux wins - draws - Nice wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven had two or less.
