Bordeaux vs Sion Betting Tips

It’s the beauty of Europa League football where relatively unknown sides can prosper. Sion top Group B after two games, while favoured teams Bordeaux and Liverpool have both looked little better than mediocre.

Willy Sagnol’s Bordeaux don’t look right in any variety of football. They’re in the bottom half of Ligue 1, which will be the focus and main point of concern for this club. This squad just looks too thin to play Europa League football between two weekend games in any sort of convincing way. They opened their campaign by drawing 1-1 with Liverpool and could make no headway in their last game on their trip to play Rubin Kazan.

Their opponents are clear of mind, though they did suffer a disappointing home defeat to FC Basel in their last game. They opened their campaign with a win over Rubin Kazan and then travelled to Anfield, where they earned a hugely valuable 1-1 draw with Liverpool. Another result on the road on Thursday night would stand Sion in very positive stead for this match-up.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. No belief in Bordeaux

They haven’t been convincing, they lack cutting edge and we’re just not at all convinced that they’ll be able to break down and pick up a win in this game.

2. Exceptional odds

We get the double chance, draw or Sion to win, at 13/10. It’s a number that is far too good to refuse. This is a good football team, they drew in Anfield and they’ve got the structure to make Bordeaux struggle too.

3. Stalemate feel

The game in general feels like it pits too teams with a similar mindset and similar styles against one another. A stalemate feels highly probable given that fact.
