Bordeaux take on the visitors Rodez in the round 38 match of French Ligue 2. The match will be played on Friday, June 2st at Matmut Atlantique (Bordeaux).
Bordeaux stumbled at the worst possible moment. "Girondins" are considered one of the strongest clubs in the country. They won the championship title in 2009 and lifted the French Cup for the last time a couple of years later. However, in 2022, they experienced both embarrassing results on the field and a financial crisis. As a result, they lost their place in Ligue 1 due to sporting reasons, and the threat of bankruptcy loomed, with the possibility of being relegated to the third division. This was challenged in courts last summer. Then, it seemed like they had accumulated enough points to make a comeback. However, in the penultimate round, the favorites managed to suffer a 0-1 defeat against Annecy. Now they have to hope for a misstep from Metz or Le Havre. Despite finishing in third place, albeit on additional criteria, Guion's team has slipped down.

Rodez risk falling into the relegation zone at the last moment. The "Red and Gold" went through the loss of professional status and a long process of regaining their position. By the way, a decade ago, they received investments from stars like Dacourt and even Zidane. However, they only managed to return to Ligue 2 in 2019 after a hiatus that lasted over a quarter of a century! The "Red and Gold" haven't shown anything remarkable at that level. For example, last season they finished in 17th place. They have managed to climb one position higher this time, but they are behind Laval, who is in the relegation zone, only on additional criteria, and Dijon, who has one point less. They need to win, but in the last five rounds, they have been unable to do so: 3 draws and 2 losses, including a 2-3 defeat at home in the previous round against their direct competitor, Pau.
They have played a total of four official matches, and Rodez only managed to secure a draw in the first encounter. This season, Bordeaux won 3-0 away. The hosts must win and rely on luck. Let's bet on "Girondins" with a one-goal handicap (-1).
Prediction for the match: Bordeaux to win with -1.0 handicap.
