Bordeaux take on the visitors Nice in the round 35 match of Ligue 1. The match will be played on Sunday, May 1st at Matmut Atlantique (Bordeaux).
The Girondins are a very weak team by the standards of the Ligue 1. The hosts are not fighting for survival, they are just finishing the season. They are not able beat their direct competitors, they got one win since January, there are either draws or defeats at own stadium. Lyon scored six goals against Bordeaux, in the last round the team conceded five from Nantes. The ceiling of Guyon's squad is the struggle for play-offs with a representative of League 2. And there are doubts that the Girondins will be able to win back four points from Saint-Etienne in the remaining matches.

Nice continues to fight for third place and the Champions League. The last rounds were tough for Nice as Troyes were beaten only in extra time, important points were lost with Monaco and Lens, Amin Guiri lost his former form, the defense does not shine with reliability. But there is not such a difficult calendar ahead, only Lille remains of the serious opponents, but this meeting will be on their own field. There is also the French Cup final as a fallback to qualifying for European competition, but the fight with Nantes still needs to be won.
Nice should be able to deal with teams like Bordeaux even at their field otherwise a place in top-5 couldn’t be well deserved. The hosts are able to score, but they’re still conceding a lot. On the road, the “eagles” do not win five rounds in a row, in four of them they could not score. This is the perfect time to make things right. Odds are favorable and it is worth trying a clear victory for Nice.
Prediction for the match: Nice to win.
