Lille - Bordeaux betting tips and odds

Punters who are looking for a safe bet should definitely consider this match. The home win odds of 1.53 bring great value considering the fact that Lille are indeed firm favourites to defeat Bordeaux.

Though it may not be particularly attractive to punters, this match is at least easy to predict. Anything but a Home Win is probably wishful thinking for Bordeaux, whose victory has been priced at a hefty 6.60.

Lille are coming on the back of a convincing performance in their previous away game at Nantes . Despite somewhat stronger opposition and home-field disadvantage, they turned a half-time lead into a narrow 0:1 victory which can be considered quite a success given the circumstances.

Bordeaux did not fare too well previous home game against Montpellier. They weren’t really expected to win due to a slightly unfavourable match-up, but Montpellier completely outplayed them, leading to a 0:2 loss.

With a grand total of 0 concessions over their last three Ligue 1 games, Lille’s defensive line feels like a brick wall. Therefore, To Win to Nil seems like a reasonable choice in this game.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Bordeaux’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

While in an overall solid position on the table, the home team have the upper hand in this match and will be looking to move up before it’s too late. They’ll need 4 points to move up to a Europa League qualification, though.

Bordeaux will need to get their act together if they wish to stay in the Ligue 1. They’re still in the relegation zone and the time to fix that is slowly slipping away. The fact that they’re the clear underdogs in this matchup only makes their position harder.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Ligue 1 season, the hosts already recorded a victory over Bordeaux. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Sven Botman, Jérémy Pied, Renato Sanches are all sidelined due to injury, which makes Lille’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 2.10. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
