It is a duel between contenders to Europe, since the Bordeaux and Guingampais are now in the race to the 5th place. As AS Monaco and PSG meet in the final of the League Cup, a new European ticket is to be won.
In other words, Bordeaux and Guingampais will try to recover it. The Bordeaux Girondins can still count on the Coupe de France, but they can also hope in this Championship especially that Lyon, 4th, is only 4 points.
Before the reception in Lyon on 3 March 2017, Bordeaux will therefore be keen to take 6 points on the next few days with the reception of Guingamp and a trip to Lille.
Last week, Bordeaux showed its limits with this heavy and logical defeat at home before the PSG (0-3), but the Bordelais have the means to go get a European ticket.
Before the defeat in front of the Parisians, the Bordelais had lined 6 games without any defeat with some good performances in Nancy (2-0), Caen (4-0) or in the derby, at home, in front of Toulouse (1 -0).
Bordeaux is struggling to keep up the good work, but watch out, the En Avant Guingamp is a badly exported team in Gironde, two defeats on the last two trips in December 2015 (0-1) and January 2017 In the League Cup (2-3).
It has been more than 15 years since the Guingampians have not won in Bordeaux and they have been fragile far from their bases: defeats in Lorient (1-3), Nice (1-3) and Marseille (0- 2).
In the French Ligue 1 Championship, Guingamp has won at Roudourou in front of Lyon (2-1), but on the way, Antoine Kombouaré’s men have not won since 7 games since the beginning of the month November 2016.
Guingamp therefore remains feverish. The Bordeaux people can take advantage of it to finally pass a level and truly launch into this race to Europe. They must be ready before their test against Lyon in March.
Prediction: Bordeaux win
Odds: 1.95
