Bordeaux vs Monaco Live Stats & Betting Odds
Bordeaux Prediction – Can Bordeaux jump into European spots?
After a mini blip which saw Bordeaux suffer back-to-back defeats to Saint-Etienne and Lille, Sunday’s hosts seem to have steadied the ship with a 2-0 home win over Nantes and gaining a point in a 1-1 draw away from home at Nice to send them into the international break in reasonably confident mood.
Overall results have been a mixed bag though for Bordeaux as the hosts have been unable to put a really strong sequence of results together for any length of time, and this is perhaps best reflected in their overall home record of 2-2-2 7/5 which includes wins over Metz and Nantes but also defeats to PSG and Saint-Etienne.
It’s worth noting though that these defeats were to Ligue 1 leaders, PSG and 4th placed Saint-Etienne, while Bordeaux recorded a 2-1 home win over Monaco in their last meeting against Sunday’s opponents at their Stade Matmut-Atlantique.
Forwards Briand (4 goals), de Preville and Ui-jo (3 goals apiece) look the most likely to score for the hosts here as they look to press their claims for a top four position in Ligue 1.
Monaco Prediction – Can Monaco move into top half?
Mid-table Monaco largely have their results at home to thank so far in this season’s French top flight as 4 of their 5 wins to date this term have been achieved at their Stade Louis II, winning 4 of their 7 matches on home turf to date.
Monaco signed off before the international break with a 1-0 home win against Dijon as they collected a third win four matches in Ligue having earlier registered wins against Rennes and Nantes as well, although 2 of these 3 wins were recorded on home turf.
Switch to results away from home though, and you’ll find that Monaco have managed to register just 1 win out of their last 11 matches on their travels which was a 1-0 win at Nantes, and indeed, just 2 victories from their last 17 matches on the road in the French top flight.
An away record this season of 1-2-3 4/9 is a poor one and along with failing to score in 3 of these 6 away matches, the visitors have also kept just 2 clean sheets out of their last 11 away matches, so this trip to Bordeaux may present Monaco with further problems on the road this Sunday.
Key-Facts – Bordeaux vs Monaco
- Bordeaux are unbeaten in their last 2 matches in Ligue 1
- Monaco have won just 1 out of their last 11 matches on their travels
- Bordeaux won the last meeting at home against Monaco 2-1
Betting Tips Verdict
Bordeaux have enough about them to gain at least a point here against a poor-travelling Monaco outfit.
