Bordeaux hosts Metz in round 5 of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Saturday, September 14th at Matmut Atlantique (Bordeaux)
Bordeaux started with a defeat in a duel against Angers. This fight will be remembered by the complete failure of the club’s defense. The Girondins managed to score first, but the further is akin to a tub of ice water on the head. The 27th, 33rd and 45 minutes of the first half removed all questions about the winner in the match and put one, but very serious. What did Bordeaux do in the offseason if it lost the match in 15 minutes? In the next rounds, Bordeaux proved by deed that the starting defeat was nothing more than an accident. A draw with Montpellier (1:1), a victory in the match with Dijon (0:2) and another draw against powerful Lyon in the last round (1: 1) partially excused the Girondins, and the last meeting held in a foreign land attracted special attention.

Metz showed an optimistic start. In the first round, there was a draw in the match with Strasbourg (1:1), in the second - a victory over Monaco. The victory was very convincing (3:0), which made me think of Metz as one of the few Ligue 1 clubs whose start will not disappoint fans. Expectations did not come true. The club lost the third and fourth rounds without any chances. A failure with Angers away (3:0) was replaced by a loss to PSG at home (0:2). What is it? Well, it’s clear that the class and rated power of Metz are not suitable for resisting Parisians, but with Angers… Until recently, Metz managed to confront this opponent, and the SCOists managed to gain superiority only in the last season. And now the new season and defeat again. Who is stagnating here?
Bordeaux is demonstrating the results of the middle-class team so far, but I would like to note that the Girondins are very confident. There is no victory in the homeland, but it’s easy to fix. That is what the club will do tonight. It is one thing to oppose Lyon and to play on an equal footing or from a position of strength is another. That is how Bordeaux acted in the last four fights with Metz and invariably won. By the way, the total score of those confrontations is 12: 0. I will bet on the hosts, to whom I wish victory.
Prediction for the match: Bordeaux to win
