Bordeaux form and stats

Bordeaux's struggle is real here at Stade Matmut-Atlantique with only 11 points collected from 13 Ligue 1 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-5-6.

The Bordeaux manager Guion and his crew return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Clermont (placed 15th). Midfield player Guilavogui got a match rating of 8.35 in that game, the max score being 10. Guilavogui scored one goal and hit one key pass.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Monaco.

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 three, drawn three and lost six.

The Bordeaux fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 20 goals in 13 league matches. Bordeaux have conceded 25 from these games.

Troyes form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Troyes so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 3-1-9 (win-draw-lose). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Irles, the Troyes manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Troyes's last game was the home draw against Olympique Marseille (1-1). Dingome got a match rating of 7.62 in that game, top player of the team. Dingome hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 29 successful passes (of 34 total).

Prior to that match, the Troyes manager Irles faced defeat when travelling to Rennes and losing 1-4.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Troyes playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were four Troyes wins, one draw and two defeats.

The attacking power of Troyes when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 13 league matches away. For Troyes, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
