Bordeaux take on the visitors Guingamp in a friendly clash. The match will be played on Friday, July 21st.
Last season Bordeaux settled on the sixth place in standings of the French Ligue 1 and qualified to the UEFA Europa League. In eager to take a successful start in the Eurocups, the club is rather active on the transfer market having signed Benoit Costil, Lukas Lerager, Youssouf Sabaly, Alexandre Mendy and Vukasin Jovanovic for 11 million EUR. And it is quite impressive, especially, bearing mind that Bordeaux sold nobody in summer, while the French usually survives because of the advantageous sale of football players and at the moment there is an opposite situation when the club prefers to enforce the squad. Jocelyn Gourvennec’s side won all three summer encounters with 5:1 aggregated score.

Guingamp finished last season sitting on the 10th position in the Ligue 1 table. In summer the club spent not a single penny on new players, engaging free agents and sold Alexandre Mendy to Bordeaux for 600 thousand EUR. During the summer break “Las Costarmoricains” conducted three clashes resulting in 2:3 loss to Lorient alongside with two triumphs over Tours 2:1 and Brest 1:0.
Bordeaux have not been defeated by Guingamp since the 19th of September 2014. Within that period the opponents met seven times resulting in three draws and four wins in favour of “Les Girondins”. I believe that this time Bordeaux, which continue to strengthen their roster this summer, will manage to prolong both winning series: the summer one and in their head-to-heads against Guingamp. And it should be taken into account that in 2017 Bordeaux broke the upcoming rival twice with 3:2 and 3:0 scorelines.
Prediction for the match: Bordeaux to win.
