Prediction: 3-2
Bordeaux
All eyes will be on Roazhon Park when Rennes and Bordeaux face each other in the Ligue 1 round 21. Rennes failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Lens, but they are still seen as favourites to beat Bordeaux in front of home fans. All Gomis, Sulemana, Aguerd, and Traore are on international duty, while goalkeeper Romain Salin and Jeremy Gelin remain in the recovery room. Les Girondins, on the other hand, are having a season to forget, with the team sitting just above the relegation zone.
Since Bordeaux are not regarded as good travelers, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on the home team. Both Jean Onana and Gideon Mensah represent their national teams at the Africa Cup of Nations, while Amadou Briand, Jimmy Briand, and Paul Baysse are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Flavien Tait):
Born in Longjumeau, France on February 2, 1993, Flavien Tait is a French footballer who plays for Angers as a midfielder. Tait began his youth career at Rodez and in 2010 he moved to Chateauroux. After spending first years of his senior career at Chateauroux, the 175-cm tall footballer joined Angers in 2016 and he has been playing for les Scoistes ever since.
Flavien Tait impressed in the 2017/2018 Ligue 1 campaign and it has to be noted that he scored 4 goals in 34 appearances for Angers in the process. His main position is winger, but he is often used as an attacking midfielder. Flavien Tait’s preferred foot is right and he wears No. 20 jersey at Angers.
His contract with les Scoistes should expire on June 30, 2020. It has to be noted that his market value was €4.5 million on June 4, 2018.Flavien Tait has yet to make his France debut.
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.
