BOR
LOSC Lille vs. FC Girondins de Bordeaux
Les Dogues, riding high after a narrow victory and unbeaten in five, host bottom-placed Bordeaux at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy, eyeing a crucial three points to break into the top five in Ligue 1.
LOSC Lille
Ten-man Lille picked up a 1-0 win over Nantes last time out on Ligue 1 Matchday 29, courtesy of a single goal by Amadou Onana (41') at Stade de la Beaujoire. This marked his first-ever goal in Ligue 1.
The victory leaves Lille without a defeat in five games (DWWDW) and in 6th place, two points behind fifth-placed Strasbourg. Lille has accumulated 46 points from 12 wins, 10 draws, and 7 losses.
If RC Lens defeats Le Racing on Sunday, a Lille victory would move them into fifth place. Lille has won their last six Ligue 1 games against teams starting the day from the bottom end of the league table, without conceding in their most recent four episodes against such sides.
Jocelyn Gourvennec hopes to inflict a heavy loss on his former employers, having been in the coaching seat at Bordeaux between May 2016 and January 2018. He could be lining up the 4—2—3—1 formation with Canada’s Jonathan David at the top of the shape.
Burak Yilmaz, who was on target for Turkey in the FIFA World Cup 2022 Qualifying 3-1 loss to Portugal, continues to see limited chances following the anger-inspired ugly episode against Brest. The Turkish captain is expected to make another off-the-bench appearance for the Canadian forward in the latter stages of Saturday’s game.
Timothy Weah is facing a two-match suspension following a straight red in the game against Nantes, while Xeka has accumulated a yellow-card suspension. Meanwhile, both Milan targets, Sven Botman and Renato Sanches, are sidelined until mid-April.
Bordeaux
Bordeaux are coming off three consecutive Ligue 1 defeats, the latest being a 2-0 loss to Montpellier last weekend at the Matmut Atlantique.
Currently sitting in 20th place, Bordeaux have only managed to secure 22 points from their 4 wins, 10 draws, and 15 losses. They are winless in their last 13 league games against reigning champions, drawing four and losing nine—a record drought for them in the top-flight.
Bordeaux have the worst defense in the league this season, conceding 70 goals in just 29 Ligue 1 games.
Manager David Guion hopes to improve defensive solidity against Les Dogues on Saturday, setting up with a 4-3-3 formation that features Sékou Mara in the middle of the attacking trio.
However, Bordeaux could face additional challenges as they may be without up to five players due to injuries and triple yellow-card suspensions.
