Bordeaux form

Bordeaux fans this season hardly have many reasons to rejoice, as their team is in an active struggle for survival. They are not doing well t the moment – the club is 18th in the table with 13 points. However, succeeding today can get them out of the danger zone.

Lyon form

Lyon does not please fans in the current campaign either. One of the top teams in the French championship is not having the best time, sitting 12th in the standings with only 22 points. But we should not forget about the Europa League, where Lyon performed great in the group stage and has already secured a place in the 1/8 finals. In the last meeting on December 1, Lyon rather unexpectedly lost on home field to Reims with a score of 1-2.

Expert Betting Tips

Of course, bookmakers favor Lyon, but we would not be so confident. The team is absolutely unstable and you can expect anything from them. It would be better to pay attention to the fact that the teams are quite high-scoring: the games involving Bordeaux see an average of 3.8 goals scored per game, while the ones that have Lyon witness 2.9. On this basis, it seems logical to bet on goals.
