There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Ligue 1 table so far. Here's the Bordeaux - Montpellier latest:
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Bordeaux form and stats
The story so far in the Ligue 1 for Bordeaux, who have the fewest conceded goals (0) at home in Ligue 1, at their home stadium (Stade Matmut-Atlantique) is 2 wins, 3 draws and 0 defeats. Two home wins in a row for Bordeaux bring valid hopes of a third.
Bordeaux lost their last game at Monaco (placed 8th) after a 0-4 scoreline. Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Nimes.
Bordeaux were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
This is expected to be a close game, with Bordeaux perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Bordeaux as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Bordeaux has won four of these, drawn four and lost four.
The Bordeaux fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 5 matches. Defensively Bordeaux have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (0 in 5 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Montpellier form and stats
1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Montpellier playing as the away team in the Ligue 1 this season.
Two travels in a row for Montpellier, whose manager M. Der Zakarian could celebrate last time after the Ligue 1 win against Saint-Etienne. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-4 defeat against Reims.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Montpellier playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were three Montpellier wins, three draws and six defeats.
Montpellier are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 5 away goals from 4 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Montpellier have seen the ball go into their own net 5 times on the road.
