Neck-and-neck with Paris Saint-Germain at the business end of the standings, Lyon are trailing the table-toppers only on goal-difference. To keep up the pressure on the reigning champions, Les Gones must continue delivering results on a regular basis.

Meanwhile, Bordeaux have recovered from an early-season slump to begin their rise up the league standings. Enjoying an improved form lately, Gasset’s men have won their last three games on the bounce. Here, they will be keen on extending this fantastic streak.

Lyon vs Bordeaux Team News

Charging for their first taste of Ligue 1 success since 2008, Lyon are pulling their weight to finish atop the standings. But with perennial champions PSG in the mix, Rudi Garcia’s men will have their work cut-out to achieve this amazing feat.

Already performing brilliantly so far, Lyon have notched up 45 points from an available 63 to sit second on the log. This side have so much quality in their ranks, and it would be criminal to completely rule them out of title contention.

That said, the Kids have hit a bit of a snag in recent weeks, picking up maximum points in only one of their previous three league matches – the triumph coming last time out against tricky side Saint-Etienne in unfamiliar territory.

A game expected to be closely-fought, Lyon blew their weak opposition out of the water to register an emphatic 5-0 victory. Enjoying a goal-fest on the night, the likes of Kadewere and Marcelo got in on the act to bag some vital points for their team.

Now, a tougher test awaits them with Bordeaux preparing to visit their camp this weekend. After successfully shaking off a slow start to the campaign, it appears these ones have finally gotten into their groove – they have hit top gear!

Stringing three wins on the trot is no easy feat, but one Les Girondins have pulled off with a minimum of fuss. Last time out against Angers, Gasset’s charges were made to dig really deep to register a narrow 2-1 win to send the opposition sinking.

Laying blood and sweat bare on the pitch, Bordeaux spent more than an hour of the match, defending their early two-goal lead. Showing strength in defense, they were able to hold on to it, to roar to victory. With their sights set on a fourth successive win, we can expect a strong display from Les Girondins here.

Lyon vs Bordeaux Predictions

Historically, Lyon have struggled to overcome Bordeaux, as Les Girondins are always proving to be a thorn in their flesh. Surely, they won’t be knocking this side for six, like they rough-handled a depleted St-Etienne squad on the last matchday.

For neutral fans, this should be an exciting game between two in-form sides. But with a spot at the summit up for grabs, we do not expect Lyon to bottle their chances to go top. Hence, we are backing them to come away from this one with all three points safely stashed in the bag.
