There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Bordeaux leading Strasbourg by 5 points.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

Strasbourg have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Bordeaux form and stats

The story so far in the Ligue 1 for Bordeaux at their home stadium (Matmut Atlantique) is 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Bordeaux, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.

In their previous game, the manager Paulo Sousa led his Bordeaux to a defeat in the Ligue 1 match away at Olympique Marseille. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Matmut Atlantique. Ahead of that match, Bordeaux won a home game hosting Nîmes (6-0).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Bordeaux have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found twelve matches with the results: Won 4 Drawn 3 Lost 5.

The manager Paulo Sousa will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Brest in only three days.

Bordeaux have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Matmut Atlantique with 15 goals in 8 league matches. Bordeaux are not conceding a lot of goals here at Matmut Atlantique in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 6 from 8 matches.

Strasbourg form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Strasbourg so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-6 (win-draw-lose).

Strasbourg won their last game, 4-2 versus Toulouse played at home. Prior to that match, the Strasbourg manager T. Laurey faced defeat when travelling to Brest and losing 0-5.

A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Strasbourg, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? Goalkeeper Matz Sels was absolutely vital in the Strasbourg victory against Toulouse, making 6 saves.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Strasbourg playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were 4 Strasbourg wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Coupe de la Ligue trip to Nantes.
