Girondins de Bordeaux

LLLLDL ⚠

Bordeaux will be hoping to return to winning ways here after the 2-0 Ligue 1 loss in their previous game against Nîmes.

In that match, Girondins de Bordeaux managed 72% possession and 11 shots at goal with 4 on target. For their opponents, Nîmes had 8 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Birger Meling (14') and Renaud Ripart (71') scored for Nîmes.

Girondins de Bordeaux have really been misfiring of late. Their sum of goals equals just 2 against opposing sides over the course of their last six outings. In those games, Les Girondins have also seen the tally of goals that have gone against them come to 11. Previous results aside, time will tell if that trend might be maintained in this next match or not.

Taking a look at their past results, Girondins de Bordeaux:

• are unbeaten in the league by FC Metz in their last 15 games. What a record.
• haven’t won at home in the past 2 league matches.

FC Metz

WDLWLW

Metz go into this game after a 1-2 Ligue 1 win over Nice in their most recent match.

In that match, FC Metz had 35% possession and 11 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. For FC Metz, the goalscorers were Boubakar Kouyaté (15') and Lamine Gueye (38'). On the other side, OGC Nice had 12 shots on goal with 3 on target. Amine Gouiri (61') scored for Nice.

FC Metz have had no problems opening up opposition defences in their most recent fixtures, scoring 10 times in their last 6 matches. While their manager Frédéric Antonetti will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Les Grenats have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 6 of those same matches.

Metz manager Frédéric Antonetti has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Ibrahima Niane (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) and Manuel Cabit (Traffic Accident) are those who can’t be considered.
