Lyon appear the better of the two teams – if you judge by the evidence of their overall performance in this season. But there is something called home advantage. No other team is comfortable playing at their home ground than Bordeaux is at the Chaban-Delmas stadium. Their last eight home games have resulted in six wins and one draw – and only one defeat against Toulouse.

They have reasons to show Lyon how strong they are at home. If they win this game, they will find themselves ahead of Lyon in the French Ligue 1 table.

Lyon are sixth in the league, having secured 42 points. They are six points away from the European league qualifying zone. They have to keep on winning, especially against lower-ranked teams, to exploit any let-up from the part of Lille and St. Etienne.

Bordeaux are eighth, just two points away from Lyon. A win in this match would rekindle their European ambitions. The recent H2H statistics between the teams would urge them to dream on further. Bordeaux has won four of the last 10 matches, whereas Lyon has managed just two wins.

Lyon’s recent good run is mainly due to the sensational form shown by their strikers. Alexandre Lacazette and Bafetimbi Gomis have formed a deadly duo. The team does not have any major injury worries.

While Bordeaux tend to falter away from home, they are a force to reckon with at the familiar environs of home. Cheick Diabate and Henri Saivet have provided them with a steady stream of goals.

Bordeaux lift their game a few notches higher at home. But Lyon has the better firepower. The match can go either way.
