Bordeaux take on the visitors Nimes at the Matmut Altantique in the 5th tour of the Ligue 1 Conforama. The match will be played in the eponymous city Bordeaux on Sunday, September 16th.
Bordeaux put all their effort into the UEFA Europa League qualification and completely forgot about their local competition. Even though Les Girondins were able to beat Monaco in the third tour that was their only victory in their four starting matches of the Ligue 1 Conforama. There has been a new chairman in the team lately who has set the goal to compete for the bronze at least for Bordeaux. That it unlikely to happen though realistically because Le Club au Scapulaire have enhanced their squad with almost nobody this summer. Furthermore, their key winger Malcom has left for Barcelona. In their four matches of the 2018/2019 Ligue 1 Conforama season the team conceded seven goals which was a lot. In their last three matches Bordeaux lost to Stade Rennais with a 0-2 score, beat Gent with a 2-0 score and Monaco with a 2-1 score.

The main goal for Nimes this season is to save themselves in the Ligue 1 Conforama. However, the team has been overachieving their goal lately and has scored two goals against Paris Saint-Germain, three goals against Olympique Marseille and four against Angers. That has been a sign of the high level that Les Crocodiles have been possessing. The team of Bernard Blaquart has scored more goals than most of the other teams in the Ligue 1 Conforama this season. There are eight players in the squad of Nimes Olympique who have already scored at least one goal each. No one expected the team to show this good of a playing style before the start of the season but their coach Bernard Blaquart has been proving everybody wrong. It`s worth noting that Les Crocodiles have signed almost no new players this summer and have been playing with basically the same squad they had had last season. In their last three matches Nimes lost to Paris Saint-Germain with a 2-4 score, to Toulouse with a 0-1 score and beat Olympique Marseiile with a 3-1 score.
Bordeaux are hardly the favourites in the lead-up to the upcoming fixture even though they are going to play in front of their home crowd. Les Girondins conceded at least one goal in seven of their last ten home matches so it is likely that Nimes will be able to score at least once. The team of Bernard Blaquart was able to do that against such teams as Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique Marseille so why don`t they do that on Sunday?
Prediction for the match: Nimes to score over 1.0 goal.
