Brest vs Bordeaux Predictions

• Bordeaux’s league games have averaged a league-high 3.7 total goals per-match.
• Bordeaux must overcome a 12-goal swing and hope for results elsewhere to go their way to have any chance of survival.
• Each of the last three H2H meetings produced at least three goals.

A possible case of strive and collapse for Bordeaux

While Brest have nothing but pride to play for in this final day encounter, they could well find many gaps to exploit as Bordeaux enter this game knowing that they must rely on two teams above them to lose while also closing a 12 point swing of goal difference in order to even make a relegation play-off.

Brest raced into a 2-0 lead at Monaco last time out, a team who also needed to win in the circumstances and did so with a terrific comeback (4-2). This shows that the hosts won’t be thinking about their holidays and are capable of slotting goals away against teams in desperate need of points at this late stage.

Bordeaux’s defence has been almost non existent on their travels of late, they conceded 3+ goals in four of their last five away trips for a shocking average of 3.6 conceded goals per-game. That is not accounting for their five goals scored in reply during that run, which indicates that this could be yet another exciting encounter for the neutral.

Go for goals

Given the circumstances, we predict that over 2.5 goals in this game is a relatively safe bet, as the odds would suggest. Brave punters can push the boat out and go for over 3.5, but we are happy with a larger stake on the 3+ goals selection.

As for the correct score, we can see Bordeaux going gung ho for a result in what is likely to be their final bow in the top-flight, but with gaps open they could ultimately fall to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Brest.
