Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Bordeaux and Lens face each other at Stade Matmut Atlantique in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Sunday’s program. Les Girondins do not seem to be at their sharpest in the season finale, and, as a result, their Ligue 1 status is in danger. Since Bordeaux are only two points clear of the relegation zone, we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against Lens. Dilane Bakwa has been tested positive for coronavirus, while all Hatem Ben Arfa, Laurent Koscielny, and Otavio are all sidelined with injuries.
The Yellow-Reds, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a heavy 3-0 loss to Lille. Lens are determined to represent France in European competitions next season, and seeing that they will go for a win as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered. All Sylla, Michelin, and Sotoca are banned for the match, while Haidara, Oudjani, and Diallo are out of contention with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Mexer):
Edson Andre Sitoe “Mexer”, who was born in Maputo, Mozambique on September 8, 1988, began his senior career at Desportivo Maputo and he scored three goals in 97 appearances for the club. Mexer played for his home-town club from 2006 to 2010 and in the winter of 2010 he joined Portuguese side Sporting for a fee of €173,000.
The Mozambique centre-back was quickly loaned to Olhanense and it has to be noted that he made 39 appearances for the Primeira Liga club in the league. In 2012 he was sold to fellow Portuguese outfit Nacional and after playing 57 league games for the club, Mexer moved to France. The 187-cm-tall footballer signed a contract with Rennes in January, 2014 and he has been playing for les Rouges et Noirs ever since.
