Ligue 1: Downhill for Girondins de Bordeux (1/13/18) Betting Preview
Source
Stade Rennais- Olympique Marseille
Rennais: She faced PSG two times last month and received a total of 10 goals. 4 in the league game and 6 for the cup and of course said farewell to the competition. Still continues for the League Cup though, on Wednesday won Toulouse 4-2.
Marseille: Tried to play 4-4-2 with Mitroglou and Germain in the home game against Velencienes but it did’nt work out. Without score in the regular time, she needed the extra time to qualify for the next cup round (1-0). Greek forward is under fire from press and crowd with his performance disappointing at best.
Verdict: After watching the “corpse” of Rennais in cup our minds went directly to the odds for Marseille win. We were disappointed seeing them so low. There is value at Over 2.5(2.0) since Rennais might suck defensively but still scores.
Dijon – Metz
Dijon:As usual only cares about the League, with many substitutions at Strasbourg for the cup, lost 3-2 AET. Typical home team where has gathered 80% of total points this year.
Metz: When everyone thought she was finished, won against Montpelier and showed signs of life. With high mood she also won Strasbourg with 3-0 and these 6 points allow her to believe again.
Verdict: Metz made a finish like a champion thanks to the two consecutive wins. Now she will try to give it all on the second round to save the year. Under these thoughts the odds on 2(4.33) seem pretty big and false in our eyes.
Montpellier – Monaco
Montpellier: Best defense of the league and that helped to finish in the 7th place during the first round. The program in the beginning of the new year is hard. She won “”little”” Pontarlier at penalty shootout for the cup and the travelled to Angers for League Cup where she won 0-1.
Monaco: After elimination from the Champions League she gave more than enough players on loan. Now the focus is aimed towards the two national goals. Second place in the league and one cup. Won 2-5 for the cup and 1-2 against neighbor Nice for the league cup.
Verdict: 3rd game in a raw for both teams. Montpelier will definitely try to defense at all cost. In a similar game managed to keep 0-0 against PSG and that is what she will try again. With risk, X(3.2).
Nice – Amiens
Nice: Sudden absence of forward Balotelli last moment and ineffectiveness of the rest lead to home defeat from Monaco (1-2). That was the end for League Cup only 3 days after the elimination from Toulouse for the cup. Only way to European Leagues now is via the League.
Amiens: Small roster, not of such high quality but really well-worked team. Went to Spain during the break to continue this job. Embarrassing elimination from Sochaux for the cup (6-0). There was extended rotation though. On Wednesday on-schedule defeat against PSG for the league cup.
Verdict: In 3 days Nice was eliminated from two competitions. Amiens coach stated that preparation was really hard and some time will be needed. NO BET.
Caen – Lille
Caen: Won Hazebrouck 2-0 for the cup. First win after the 25th of November with the finish of 2017 not really positive. Small roster, was really in need for some rest. Defense is here strong spot but has to find more solutions in the front.
Lille: With Christof Galtie in the bench for some time. Who came from Saint-Etienne after 8 years (2009-2017). He has proven to have what it takes with his philosophy aimed towards strong defense. Won 4-2 Le-Mans for the cup. She is forbidden to make any transfers.
Verdict: Initial thought was Under but if we want to search for value that is not hidden there but at 2(3.6), since the quality of the roster lies with Lille.
Troyes Girondins Bordeaux
Troyes: Playing as much as needed won 1-0 for the cup. Of course cup comes second with staying at the League being her first goal. 8 out of 9 home games where No Goal.
Bordeaux: From the bad to the worse, eliminated from the unknown Granville for the cup in a game where they were winning until 95’ where they were equalized and lost after extra time. The fans are now angry and for this reason there were some police troops during the week training. New transfer, stopper Paul Baysee from Malaga.
Verdict: The fall of Bordeaux seems to have no ending we would like to bet against them but how can you trust Troyes? Games with goal again with Over 2.5(2.25) being our choice.
We wish you good luck whatever you may chose.!
