Bordeaux vs Le Mans Prediction & Betting tips
The first match of the 1 / 32nd finals of the Coupe de France will be played on Friday evening between Girondins de Bordeaux and second-class Le Mans. Does the home team manage to fulfill the favorite role?
Girondins de Bordeaux:
Girondins de Bordeaux spent a long time in the Ligue 1 subtop in the first half of the season, but due to a dramatic month of December, the team of Paulo Sousa has now dropped to the right-hand row. At the beginning of December a convincing 6-0 victory was booked at Nîmes Olympique, but then league defeats against Olympique Marseille, RC Strasbourg and Stade Rennais followed. In between was also lost in the eighth finals of the Coupe de la Ligue, making the Coupe de France this season the only chance of silverware for the Girondines.
With 28 hits in nineteen league games, it seems to be good this season with the scoring ability of the Sousa team, but in the last four games of 2019, his team managed to find the net only once. Against Le Mans, players like Hwang Ui-Jo and François Kamano are likely to get another chance to show their offensive potential, while top scorers Nicolas de Préville and Josh Maja, both good for five goals in the Ligue 1 this season, will probably have to settle for with a maximum of one raid in the first competition of 2020.
Le Mans:
The Le Mans program has been characterized in the last month mainly by the large number of cup competitions. At the beginning of December the team of Richard Déziré won in the 1 / 64th finals of the Coupe de France only after the extension of Vendée Les Herbiers, two seasons ago losing finalist in the Coupe de France, and just before the winter break there was in the eighth Coupe de la Ligue finals suffered a 4-1 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain. In between, Le Mans also had to complete two league games, both of which were won, meaning that the team from the Ligue 2 2019 managed to close well.
With eight defeats and only one win in the first nine games of the Ligue 2, the team of Déziré seemed to be the well-deserved relegation candidate early in the season, but with seventeen points from the last ten games, Le Mans has now risen to the 14th place. Especially in the defensive sense, the team has improved in the second quarter of the competition, but on average the team of Déziré still collects more than one hit per competition match. Offensive things have also gone a lot better in recent months, as was scored in seven of the last eight games, including the game against PSG.
