Lyon v Bordeaux: Ligue 1 Match-day 32

Lyon at home against Bordeaux – Sunday – 5:05pm GMT – The Parc Olympique Lyonnais.

Bordeaux currently sit in nineteenth place as they travel to eighth placed Lyon.

Lyon have so far accrued 47 points in this season of the Ligue 1

When Lyon last turned out in the Ligue 1, the result was a disappointing draw 1-1 against RC Strasburg at the Stade de La Meinau. They will be hoping for a better result this time.

Also, football is a simple game, first don’t lose, and Lyon achieved this now in 13 of their last 16 fixtures. Now they have 12 matches won, 8 games lost and 11 duels drawn; that’s why they currently sit in eighth place, with a total of 47 points having won 12 matches, drawn 11 meetings, and lost eight matches.

Lyon have won eight meetings, drawn five games, and lost three matches of their 16 League matches at home this season.

A victory for Lyon would put them on 50 points.

Lyon’s squad will likely be depleted of five of their key players when they start on Sunday, due to injury or illness.

David Guion’s Bordeaux, away to Lyon on Sunday, hoping to improve relegation prospects

Bordeaux come to this match on the back of a victory, having beaten FC Metz 3-1 at the Matmut Atlantique Stadiums.

Also, the relegation zone is not where Bordeaux want to be at the end of the season, but that is where they are heading, unless they can get out of their losing habit. Les Girondins have lost 11 of their last 19 fixtures in the Ligue 1. With a nineteenth position in the league and 5 wins, 15 losses and 11 draws, they currently have 26 points in the League having won five fixtures, drawn 11 games, and lost 15 matches.

With a poor record on the road, which amounts to two victories, six darts, and seven defeats, it is hard to predict a positive outcome for Bordeaux as they travel once more.

Winning this fixture will see Bordeaux on 29 points.

David Guion will be forced to make changes to the plans for his squad, as injury or illness has depleted him of seven of his Bordeaux players.
