– Bordeaux succeeded after two consecutive defeats to steal a victory in the last round away to Guingamp score 2-4. Also before this victory was Elmina cup Bordeaux France by Nantes in overtime after the regular time the score was equal. Premier league is currently in position 9, but leading places in the European Cups are just 4 points, which could motivate players. Coach Sagnol has for some time problems with the players, with numerous players injured, including Carraso, Gajic, Contento, Pablo, Sertic, Jussi and Thilina. Prior to this match, Pallois and Sane are suspended.

– Nice is in these moments ranked 3rd in the standings, but there is a slight decline after they managed to get one win in last 4 games. The team led by Puel had weak developments especially in away games, where they lost to two of the teams that are fighting for the front positions, Caen and Monaco. The biggest problem for injury but Puel is one of the best players of the team, Ben Arfa, who missed the match against Marseille and will be absent for at least 3 weeks. Besides the coach also can not count on Poplin, Mallamann and Traore.

Even if the attack from Nice weakened by the absence of Ben Arfa, coach Puel will keep offensive tactics. Bordeaux will try to obtain victory at home and be closer to the first position, so I expect both teams to score.
