Bordeaux take on the visitors St. Etienne in the round 1 of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Saturday, August 13th.
Bordeaux had poor last season, gaining only 50 points in 38 matches with 50-57 goal difference. The team played six sparring matches this summer taking two wins, two draws and two defeats. The club made attempts to strengthen the first team, signing Jeremy Toulalan and Jeremy Menez. These players should improve both midfield and offensive lines of the team. Jocelyn Gourvennec will definitely try to show better result this season.

Saint-Etienne finished last season on sixth place in the league with 58 points and 42-37 aggregate goal difference, gaining the right to play in Europa League. This is why the team started the season in the end of July with overall win over AEK 1-0, 0-0. The first team practical hasn’t changed with only Cheikh M’Bengue and Bryan Dabo joined the team and losing the leader of last year defense Bayal Salla. Christophe Galtier’s team should probably stick to their defensive football that gained them success last season.
Bordeaux will need some to find balance with new notable players in the squad while Saint-Etienne should probably continue battle for points with defensive football. This is why the fans have small chance to see number of goals of chances created in this match.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
