Check out our prediction for Ligue 1 match between Bordeaux and Monaco on April 18. Will the hosts resist? The answer is in our material.

Command Analysis

Bordeaux

Six-time Ligue 1 champion is obviously in a poor form right now. In the previous Ligue 1 season Bordeaux finished on 12th place. In this one after a number of dissapointing defeats team dropped to 15th position.
After Dark Blues win over Dijon (3:1) today's hosts lost three games in a row. Last of them was away on Saint-Etienne (1:4).
Number of players will miss today's match: Bakwa, who is isolated due to coronavirus, Kalu and Otavio with an achilles injury.

Monaco

Monaco won the championship four years ago and since then one of the richest European clubs never lived up to expectations. In the previous season monegasques didn't even qualificated for European competitions.
In the current season team's performances are a little bit better - after 32 rounds Monaco is on the 3rd place. Red-whites bagged 20 wins and 5 draws and got 65 points. They are only one point short of PSG and five points behind the leader. Today's guests won three consecutive games - against Saint-Etienne (4:0), Metz (4:0) and Dijon (3:0).
For Monaco Fabregas and Geubbels are sidelined.

Tip and bets
Today's opposing teams are from different dimensions, but both clubs have a high potential and are capable of surprise. In our opinion guests are the favourites, but Bordeaux hasn't won a home game for a long time and that can be a big motivation factor for them.
Our prediction - Bordeaux to win with handicap (+1) goal. You can place this bet on BC Winline at 1.88
Both teams usually play offensive football in head-to-head matches so we expect hosts to put up a fight and put some balls into the net.
Second bet - both teams to score at 1.93
