On March 20, the Marines and Whtes will host La Paillade for the Ligue 1 match. What to expect from this battle? The answer is in our prediction.
Command Analysis
Bordeaux
FranceBordeaux are having their worst season in recent years, they are on the verge of relegation to Ligue 2, where they last played in 1991. Ater 28 rounds of the current season team has only four victories and ten draws, delivering 22 points and a 20th spot in the standings.
Girondins' defensive line is looking dreadful now, they conceded more than two goals per game on average, bot their offensive record is not so bad. After a draw against Clermont (1:1) hosts suffered two consecutive defeats.
Baysse, Briand, Costil, Lacoud and Mangas won't feature in the upcoming match.
Montpellier
FranceMontpellier had a promising start in the French Cup, beating Strasbourg in the first round, but failed to advance past the round of 16. At this stage, the Orange-Blues were beaten by Marseille on penalties.
In Ligue 1 Olivier Dall'Oglio's men have recorded 11 victories and five draws, delivering 38 points and an 11th spot in the standings. After two consecutive defeats visitors drew to Nice (0:0). Team's offensive line is looking great, 41 goals were scored in the current season.

Tip and bets
Hosts have only ten games to play until the end of the season and team has to put up a string of victories in order to stay in top-flight. There are not many chances for such an improvement - in 3 of 4 last games they lost each of the halves and conceded 2,43 goals per game.
Montpellier are unbeaten for three straight games, but La Paillade are still in a shaky form. In our opinion, it is now or never for the Girondins - they have nothing to lose now, so they must fight for the three points in front of their home crowd.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (0) on Bordeaux
Hosts need to put up a solid defensive performance here, if they want to succeed. In two of four latest head-to-head matches no more than two goals were scored and we are expecting the same result today.
Our second bet is on total under 2,5 goals
