Monaco hosts Bordeaux in round 9 of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Sunday, October 3rd at Stade Louis II (Monaco)
Despite not getting to the UEFA Champions League group stage and the 0-2 home defeat to Marseille, AS Monaco's players did not give up. They continue to show high-quality and balanced football. Now the Red-Whites have a 4-match unbeaten streak in different tournaments. The Monegasques minimally defeated Sturm Graz in the Europa League and scored seven out of nine possible points in the French championship. Niko Kovac’s charges beat Clermont and Saint-Etienne in the previous rounds with the same score of 3-1. Let’s note the excellent shape of 31-year-old Wissam Ben Yedder. The striker has scored four goals in the last three games.

As we have already said more than once, Bordeaux is going through hard times now. Financial problems almost led to the disappearance of such a famous club. Today the owners are trying to reanimate the situation. The management no longer squanders money. In the summer, the club allocated only less than 10 million euros for transfers. Many newcomers came on loan. Despite the difficult financial situation, the ex-coach of the Swiss national team Vladimir Petkovic decided to head Bordeaux. The coach is trying to mold a combat-ready team. So far, things are not going well. The Girondins won only one match. Bordeaux is one of the most peaceful teams in the French championship. It is located one step away from the relegation zone.
The teams are in different states. Monaco scores a lot and tries to dominate on the pitch. The renewed Bordeaux will be happy with one point, taking into account the whole situation inside the club. We will also recall the results of head-to-head confrontations. The Monegasques beat the Girondins twice last season with a total score of 7-0. Of course, the visitors will do everything to leave Stade Louis II with a positive result because this is their job, but the high class of the hosts and the support of the home stands should help the Monegasques earn three points.
Prediction for the match: Monaco to win
