Bordeaux come up against the opposing visitors FC Lorient at Stade Matmut Atlantique in the Ligue 1 tie on Saturday, and we have the latest injury news and predicted line ups to hand.
Bordeaux won’t want a repeat of their last result here after the 4-1 Ligue 1 loss in their previous game against Angers SCO. We are thinking that Les Girondins should go for a 3-5-2 formation for this one, beginning the first half with Benoit Costil, Josuha Guilavogui, Marcelo, Anel Ahmedhodzic, Gideon Mensah, Jean Onana, Fransergio, Javairô Dilrosun, Ricardo Mangas, Mbaye Niang and Rémi Oudin.
Looking at personnel, there is just the lone fitness concern for the Bordeaux boss David Guion to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed group. Timothée Pembélé will miss out.
How Bordeaux might line up for the game against FC Lorient
After being beaten in their last game against Marseille in Ligue 1 competition, FC Lorient and their fans will hope to get a better result this time. We are inclined to think that Les Merlus will likely utilise a 3-5-2 lineup, going with Matthieu Dreyer, Houboulang Mendes, Julien Laporte, Jeremy Morel, Igor Silva, Enzo Le Fée, Fabien Lemoine, Laurent Abergel, Vincent Le Goff, Terem Moffi and Armand Lauriente.
Thanks to a completely healthy group available for selection, FC Lorient manager Christophe Pélissier has no fitness worries to report ahead of this game.
