Nantes perform at a high level so far being 4th in the table. Bordeaux can look both up and down from their 13th position.
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!
Nantes form and stats
Nantes have collected 19 points from their Ligue 1 home games so far after 6-1-3.
Nantes's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 3-4 versus Olympique Lyonnais (placed 8th). In the preceding match a 2-0 victory visiting Saint-Étienne.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Nantes have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found twelve games) they have won 6 times, drawn 2 and lost 4.
Nantes are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 10 games. Nantes are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stade de la Beaujoire - Louis Fonteneau in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 7 from 10 matches.
Bordeaux form and stats
3 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Bordeaux playing as the away team in the Ligue 1 this season. With the Bordeaux losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Bordeaux seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Two away games in a row for Bordeaux, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 2-3 versus Pau in the Coupe de France. A 1-2 loss hosting Olympique Lyonnais before that.
We have checked recent matches where Bordeaux have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were W2-D1-L5.
Bordeaux are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 13 away goals from 10 games (in the league). In the opposite end, Bordeaux have conceded 15 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
