Bordeaux have been one of the surprise packages of the French top-flight season, with this weekend a huge test of their pedigree as they try and chase the slimmest of chances for securing Europa League football.
Marseille are currently one point ahead of the hosts in the league standings, with Lyon sitting just five points their senior in the final European place. The visitors need three points to keep the pressure on their rivals, ahead of our Bordeaux vs Marseille preview.
- Nantes 0-1 Bordeaux
- Bordeaux 2-0 Bastia
- Dijon 0-0 Bordeaux
- Saint-Etienne 2-2 Bordeaux
The home side have only lost to PSG at home in 2017, most recently going on a three-match winning run in Ligue 1 at the expense of Montpellier, Metz and Bastia.
On top of this, Bordeaux have conceded just two goals in their last five games at State Matmut-Atlantique, leaving Marseille with a big conundrum if they are to scrape a much-needed result, affecting our Bordeaux vs Marseille picks considerably.
- Marseille 4-0 Saint-Etienne
- Nancy 0-0 Marseille
- Caen 1-5 Marseille
- Marseille 2-1 Nice
A confidence boosting a 2-1 win over Nice will have Marseille flying high, with Rudi Garcia’s side unbeaten in the league since February. Three of their last four away games have ended 0-0, however.
Bordeaux will be keen to close out an excellent season with another huge result, but Marseille have to take three points if they are to stand any chance of catching fourth-placed Lyon and live up to our Bordeaux vs Marseille predictions.
