Bordeaux vs Nimes Soccer Betting Tips
Once again disappointing in Ligue 1 last year, Bordeaux finished in the soft underbelly of the standings, far from its former glory. After another hectic summer behind the scenes, the Girondins had displayed guarantees of solidity during the first days by losing only once in the first 6 meetings of the season. Lately, they had bowed to Lens (2-1) before taking a good point against Nice (0-0). Subsequently, they did very well against a weak team from Dijon (3-0) before suffering more on the OM field last Saturday (3-1). In the standings, Jean-Louis Gasset’s men have relapsed to 12th place.
For its part, Nîmes will try this season to acquire maintenance that is probably easier than that obtained last year when the club took place in 18th place in the standings only. For the moment, the Crocodiles do not manage to do very well in this championship. Despite a real desire to play, the Gardois have won only 2 of their first 7 days. Catchy against Lyon (0-0) then Lens (1-1), they went to win in the derby against Montpellier (0-1). But last week, they could not do anything against PSG (0-4).
The workforce for Bordeaux vs Nimes
Jean-Louis Gasset will have to do without international Mexer and Kalu, both affected with their respective selection. Holder against OM last Saturday, Hatem Ben Arfa could again take place in the starting 11. Against Marseille, it was the former Sunderland Maja who allowed his team to close the gap.
Nîmes will make the trip without its centre forward Clément Despres, young Valerio and the important Sarr and Ferhat, who are all recovering. On the other hand, the central defender Briançon is back from suspension, unlike his counterpart Landre who will have to serve his own. Bosnian striker Duljevic is also expected to return after contracting the Covid.
