Saturday, Bordeaux faces Montpellier for a meeting of the 10th day of Ligue 1. The two teams hope to win in order to get closer to the top 5.
In the grip of fairly recurring financial problems in recent years, Bordeaux has sold without really recruiting this summer except for Hatem Ben Arfa who arrived free at the end of the transfer window. Also, the Girondins do not manage to join in the fight for the top 5 for the moment. The fault in particular to their weakness on the outside. If they have had their fill lately against Dijon (3-0) and Nîmes (2-0), they have had much more trouble in Marseille (3-1) and especially in Monaco on Sunday (4-0), by conceding 3 goals in 4 minutes after half an hour of play. In the standings, Jean-Louis Gasset’s men are in 12th place in the standings.
For its part, Montpellier finally corrected the shooting last weekend by winning on the smallest of the margins against a very diminished Saint-Etienne team (0-1). Before that, the players of La Paillade remained on 2 draws conceded against Dijon (2-2) and Monaco (1-1) and two defeats wiped at home against Nîmes in the derby (0-1) and especially against Reims (0 -4). With 14 points, the Hérault residents find themselves in 9th position in the standings, in ambush for a place in the top 5.
Bordeaux will once again be cut off from the potential holders Mexer and Kalu who have been absent since the international break. Aligned alone on Sunday against Monaco, Ben Arfa should undoubtedly find a place in the heart of the Girondins game.
With the return of playmaker Savanier, midfielder Le Tallec, the right piston Souquet and the indestructible Hilton who all served their suspension, Montpellier finds many holders for this match. On the other hand, the porter n ° 1 Omlin and the left side Ristic are still in the infirmary.
Bordeaux: Costil – Sabaly, Koscielny, Pablo, Benito – Otavio, Basic – Oudin, Ben Arfa, Adli – Briand.
Montpellier: Bertaud – Congré, Hilton, Pedro Mendes, – Souquet, Mollet, Ferri, Oyongo – Laborde, Delort, Mavididi.
Coaches have the possibility of making 5 substitutions during the game.
This meeting takes place behind closed doors.
Catastrophic against Monaco, Bordeaux could find it difficult to appear well against a team from Montpellier which finds several of its holders for this meeting. Draw or win Montpellier!
