Tip and bets
It is the match between two bottom teams of the league. It is hard to give preference to someone in this battle, but we think that visitors have more chances for a success. Greens were more successful in recent head-to-head matches, but Bordeaux players are in better shape now.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (0) on Bordeaux
Head-to-head matches between these teams are usually high-scoring. Two bottom teams of Ligue 1 will probably try to secure the three points today and will try to find a chance on the offense.
Our second bet is on total over 2,5 goals
