The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Lille's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won one match, drawn one and lost zero.

Bordeaux form and stats

The visitors, who have the most clean sheets (8) in Ligue 1, are W2-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Ligue 1.

Impressive finishing from Hatem Ben Arfa secured the home win 1-0 against Brest in their previous game. Before that, Bordeaux travelled to PSG and returned home with a draw after the game finished 2-2.

A victory against Brest as mentioned above, but the margin of victory could have been bigger as Bordeaux hit the posts three times.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Bordeaux playing away, we found two games. Results were zero away wins, one draw and one home win.

A new game in only three days for Bordeaux, the Ligue 1 home match versus Saint-Etienne. Busy days.

Bordeaux have scored 7 goals on their travels this season, from 6 away games in the league. Bordeaux struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 11 goals conceded from these games.
