Bordeaux form and stats

Bordeaux have performed here at Stade Matmut-Atlantique this season with 5 wins from 7 Ligue 2 matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 1 game and lost 1. Bordeaux has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Stade Matmut-Atlantique. We remember; it was Guingamp.

The fans are hoping that Bordeaux will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the game against Nîmes (placed 16th). The first loss after going undefeated in five league fixtures. Nsimba was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.62 out of 10. The defender Nsimba hit six key passes and won 4 of 11 duels.

Before that game, a fine away victory at Stade Bordelais. A Coupe de France match.

Bordeaux are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 7 games. As for guarding their own goal, Bordeaux have only let in {2 goals} at home.
