Nice
LWLDLD
Nice enter this fixture coming off the back of a 1-1 Ligue 1 drawn match against FC Metz.
In that match, Nice managed 57% possession and 11 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. The only player to score for Nice was Amine Gouiri (18'). FC Metz got 16 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. John Boye (79') was the scorer for FC Metz.
It has not been often in recent times that Nice have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Les Aiglons have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, letting in 10 goals in the process. In any event, we will just have to wait and see if such a trend might be sustained in this upcoming game or not.
Analysis of their past results shows that Nice:
- haven't lost in the league to Girondins de Bordeaux in their previous 12 games. A long run without a loss.
- have not emerged victorious against Girondins de Bordeaux in their last 3 matches in the league.
- are without a win at home for the past 6 league games. That's never good.
Girondins de Bordeaux

Bordeaux head into the meeting following on from a 2-1 Ligue 1 win as they beat FC Lorient in their previous match.
In that game, Girondins de Bordeaux had 48% possession and 16 attempts on goal with 6 on target. The scorer for Girondins de Bordeaux was Rémi Oudin (13', 43'). FC Lorient had 12 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. Terem Moffi (23') was the scorer for FC Lorient.
Throughout their 6 most recent matches, Jean-Louis Gasset's Girondins de Bordeaux have converted 7 times - yielding them a goals scored per game average of 1.17.
Analysis of their past results shows that Girondins de Bordeaux:
- haven't beaten Nice in games played away from home for the previous 5 league matches. Not good at all.
- are unbeaten in their previous 2 league matches away from home.
