Lille vs Bordeaux Preview

Bordeaux face one of their toughest opponents early this season when they visit a Marcelo Beisla led Lille this weekend.

Lille have started the season in an inconsistent manner after failing to follow up an opening day 3-0 thrashing of Nantes with another victory.

After that game, they failed to record any further victories, losing two consecutive games against Strasbourg and Caen before managing to draw against Angers the last time out.

They are desperate to get back to winning ways and this game offers them that opportunity.

They will do well to get maximum points here as their next few games are against tough opponents.

Bordeaux have had a good start to the new season with 8 points from 4 games and no loss recorded – they are coming into this game in buoyant mood and with less pressure than their host.

They have beaten Metz and Troyes, while picking up 1 point each from games against Marseille and Angers.

They have responded well from losing their EUROPA League qualifiers and we see them doing a good job here too.
