Bordeaux vs Lorient Predictions

• Both teams have scored in the last six meetings between these two teams
• Bordeaux have taken four points from their last three home matches
• Lorient have conceded 12 goals in their last three away games

Relegated Bordeaux could make life tough for visitors

Already relegated Bordeaux can play with freedom on Saturday with their fate having been sealed weeks ago. Bordeaux go into the final day of the season having taken four points from their last three home games. David Guion’s side put in a respectable performance against Nice last time out at home, a game in which they fell to a 1-0 defeat. Recent improved performances on home soil have come far too late for Bordeaux and they must now prepare for life in French footballs second tier.

Lorient confidence must be low

Lorient are just three points above the drop zone with two games to go in the Ligue 1 season. Victory on Saturday would all but secure safety for Lorient as their goal difference is comfortably better than the side immediately below them. Lorient have found life tough on their travels all season and go into Saturday’s game on the back of some recent crushing defeats away from home. Lorient have lost their last three away matches, conceding 12 goals in the process and have the worst away record in the division having taken just 11 points from their 18 away matches so far this season.

Bordeaux to win and both teams to score in the match is the main selection for this one. Both teams have scored in the last six competitive meetings between these two sides, and it may pay to side with the team that go into the final day of the season with no pressure on their shoulders. I will put up a 2-1 home win as the correct score prediction for Saturday’s game at Matmut Atlantique.
