Nervous Bordeaux take relegation battle to Stade Raymond Kopa to face Angers SCO

Bordeaux must take a positive approach to this game, if they are to get anything out of, following their recent defeat to Nice at the Matmut Atlantique Stadiums.

Also, these are challenging times for David Guion’s Bordeaux, having suffered 11 losses in 17 fixtures, and taking them into relegation territory. This is a run of form that has to be stopped quickly. With 27 points (5W, 18L and 12D), they are established in nineteenth position in the League having won five fixtures, drawn 12 games, and lost 18 meetings.

A victory for Bordeaux would put them on 30 points.

Going into Sunday’s game, David Guion without five of his players, due to illness or injury.
