Bordeaux hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 38 points and a 14th position in the Ligue 1 table. Visiting Reims holds 9th place with 49 pts.

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 for Bordeaux at their home stadium (Stade Matmut-Atlantique) is 7 wins, 6 draws and 5 defeats. It's trouble wherever Bordeaux are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now. They really need to get back to winning ways. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Bordeaux, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

In their previous game, the manager Paulo Sousa led his Bordeaux to a defeat in the Ligue 1 match away at Lille. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade Matmut-Atlantique. Preceding that match was a defeat to Angers SCO (0-1).

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 ten games. Bordeaux has won 3 of these, drawn 2 and lost 5.

The Bordeaux fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 24 in 18 matches. Bordeaux have conceded 20 in these home matches.
