Bordeaux vs Angers Prediction & Betting Tips (29 January)

Having come close to moving up to Ligue 1 last season, Bordeaux was this time unable to grab the right wagon capable of competing for a place in the play-offs at the end of the year. After having played a good half of this 2023-2024 financial year, the Scapular club is in 13th position in the ranking, still 7 units behind 5th place. That said, things are going a little better for Albert Riera's men who sought good success against Dunkirk before Christmas 0-2. Then, the Girondins lost to Auxerre 3-1 before taking the measure, rather difficultly, of Valenciennes on Tuesday evening 3-1. In the meantime, they were knocked out in the 1/16 final of the Coupe de France by Nice 2-3. Opposite, Angers is still on pace to return directly to the elite, just one year after leaving it.

Better yet, Sco took back control of the rankings this week by winning down to the wire against Quevilly Rouen Métropole at the very end of the match 3-2. This success allowed them to come back with a small point lead over AJ Auxerre who were held in check in Grenoble at the same time. Before that, Alexandre Dujeux's men had had a little difficulty getting back into shape after the winter break. They were eliminated in the Coupe de France by Brest 1-0 then they were dominated the following week by Bastia 2-0.

The young midfielder De Amorim and the Lima replacement have still not recovered from their respective physical problems. At the same time, senior defender Bokele is still playing in the CAN with the Cameroon national team. Finally, defensive executive Gregersen joined Atlanta in MLS during the winter transfer window but Ukrainian midfielder Ignatenko is back after being suspended for an accumulation of yellow cards.

On the offensive side, Honduran striker Elis is now ahead of Slovenian summer recruit Vipotnik who scored his 6th league goal on Tuesday evening. Often criticized, the disappointing striker Badji should be sidelined and he could leave the club.
