Prediction: 1-1
Bordeaux
Friday night's solo Ligue 1 kickoff will see a mid-table struggler's Nice host sixth-placed Bordeaux at the Allianz Riviera stadium. A solid 2-0 victory against Reims in their last outing, is pretty much the only success the home side has seen in recent history. They will look to build on this result when they face a Bordeaux side who, meanwhile, have the second-best away record in the league.
Historically, Nice have edged this fixture, winning nine of the previous 20 matches between them to the away side's six. Additionally, Nice are undefeated against Bordeaux in their last six meetings. Both teams have struggled for form recently, but Nice's last victory should give them a boost. Despite their home deficiencies, Bordeaux have been robust in away games, having lost just once in the previous five. We believe Bordeaux's superior quality and tenacity break even with Nice's better head to head record and momentum. We also think that this fixture has traditionally been a low scoring affair and will produce less than 2.5 goals.

Highlighted Player (Kasper Dolberg):
Standing at 6ft 2-inches, the tall forward kicked-off his youth career with GFG Voel in Denmark in 2005 and spent five years with them before joining hometown club Silkeborg IF at the age of 13. At Silkeborg, Dolberg quickly rose through the ranks and made his professional debut on the 17th of May, 2015, as a 66th substitute against Brondby in the Danish Superliga.
At the start of the 16/17 season, Dolberg signed for Eredivisie giants AFC Ajax on a three-year deal after impressing the clubs' renowned scouting network. He scored his first professional goal on the 26th of July, 2016, in Ajax's 1-1 draw with PAOK Thessaloniki in a UEFA Champions League Qualifier match. In what was a prolific spell at de Godenzonen, Dolberg made 119 appearances and scored 45 goals for the club. Born on the 6th of October, 1997, the 22-year-old is currently on a five-year contract with French club Nice that in August 2019.
Dolberg is additionally a former Denmark youth International, having represented his country at every youth level. For the senior team, the striker made his debut on the 11th of November, 2016, and has earned 13 caps so far.
Highlighted Team (Bordeaux):
Founded in 1881, Bordeaux are regarded as one of the oldest clubs in France. Les Girondins won their first Ligue 1 trophy in 1950 and 59 years later (2008/2009) they lifted their sixth domestic trophy.
Speaking of the club’s European success, Bordeaux did remarkably well to make it to the Champions League semi-finals in 1985, but despite recording a 2-0 win over star-studded Juventus in the return leg, the French club eventually failed to book their place in the final of the elite competition.
Famous French footballers Alain Giresse and Jean Tigana were part of the team back then and it has to be noted that Giresse is the player who made the most appearances for les Girondins (587). During the nineties Zinedine Zidane, Christophe Dugarry and Bixente Lizarazu played for Bordeaux and, taking everything into account, it is no surprise they are considered one of the most famous French clubs.
Nowadays Les Girondins welcome their rivals at Matmut Atlantique, the stadium which was opened in 2015 and they used to play at Stade Chaban-Delmas in the past.
