Lyon were handed an extended break following their impressive run in the Champions League – one that saw them make it all the way to the semifinal of the competition. Indeed, they were utterly ruthless, announcing themselves on the continental stage.

Despite being eliminated by eventual champions Bayern Munich, Les Gones can take a lot of positives from their rollercoaster journey. Back to domestic action this weekend, Garcia’s men could go top with a win against Bordeaux here.

Bordeaux vs Lyon Team News

Once regarded as one of the best teams in France, Bordeaux have since lost their fear factor. Les Girondins have dropped down the pecking order, and are no longer seen as the giants they once were. Such has been their decline over the years.

Last time out, they managed a pretty decent campaign, by their standards, finishing in the bottom-half of the standings. With 37 points from 28 games, Jean Louis Gasset’s men managed to secure a 12^th-place finish.

With another league campaign underway, Bordeaux will be looking to surpass last term’s records. They began the 2020/21 season with a drab goalless draw against Nantes. Given how horrendous they were, Les Girondins would have been delighted with a point.

Bordeaux took performance levels up a notch in their subsequent game against Angers, firing two unanswered goals past the opposition. They were very convincing on the day, and looked good value for the win.

Now, Gasset’s men are en route to a potentially successful campaign, amassing four points from their first two games to sit second on the log. Impressively, the Girondins are yet to concede a single goal this season, showing their defensive credentials.

Even though its still early days, there is a real sense around the club that they can go on to finish strong this term. It is worth noting that Bordeaux’s last four away games had ended in draws. Coming up against a rock-solid Lyon side this weekend, Gasset’s men will have their work cut-out.

Lyon are a side to keep an eye on this season, as they are likely to give Paris Saint-Germain a run for their money in the race for Ligue 1 success. Though they were far from their best in the 2019/20 league season, they made up with their imperious Champions League run.

Putting their CL semifinal exit disappointment behind them, Les Gones recorded a crushing 4-1 victory over Dijon in their opening league fixture. Strolling to success, Memphis Depay grabbed a hattrick to throw Dijon under the bus.

With another game against Bordeaux on the horizon, Lyon will be intent on securing a win to build momentum. This really could be the season to end PSG’s monopoly of Ligue 1 title wins!

Bordeaux vs Lyon Predictions

This game as all the makings of a cracker between a sturdy defensive Bordeaux side and free-scoring Lyon outfit. Bordeaux will likely sit back as they attempt to neutralize Les Gones’ attacking strengths. As such, expect a low-scoring affair with no more than two goals between both sides.
