In the Ligue 1 this weekend will be a relegation battle as Bordeaux at the bottom rock of the standings take on Troyes at Stade Matmut Atlantique. Showdown schedules for 6th March 2022 at 17:00 EAT.
Bordeaux sits at the rock-bottom in the league standings with just 22 points from 26 games and are facing the prospect of relegation for the first time in three decades. Bordeaux’s dreadful run of six straight league defeats, conceding 21 goals in the process came to an end with a 1-1 draw at home against Monaco. In their last five matches, Bordeaux have two loses, two draws and a win.
Bordeaux gets into this match off the back off 1-1 Ligue 1 draw versus Clermont Foot. In that game, Bordeaux had 46% possession, 10 shots with three of them on target and a goal scored by Josuha Guilavogui (13′). Clermont Foot got nine shots with three of them on target and a goal by Elbasan Rashani (32′).
Troyes on the other hand are also undergoing a rough patch currently sitting just outside the drop zone in 17th place and are level on points with their weekend hosts but have a much better goal difference. They will be looking to return to winning ways in this fixture. Troyes is winless in all their last five fixtures drawing thrice and losing twice.
The visitors also take this trip off the back off 1-1 draw in the Ligue 1 with Marseille. In that game, Troyes had 42% possession and nine shots with three of them on target and a goal scored by Yoann Touzghar (90′).
