Bordeaux - Monaco betting tips and odds

To call the upcoming match difficult for Bordeaux would be a major understatement. They are going up against impossible odds. With a home win priced at 5.75 with major online bookmakers, this is a completely one-sided game.

The most likely outcome of this match is Monaco walking away with three more points. That said, both a draw and a home win are still on the table, though both are relatively risky propositions.

Bordeaux returned home from their latest Ligue 1 trip without anything in their bag. However, knowing they were the huge underdogs anyway, a narrow Lens HT/FT defeat is not to be considered too devastating for their confidence heading into the Sunday clash.

Monaco hit a brick wall last time they hosted Lorient as neither of the teams was able to break the stalemate for more than 90 minutes. We can assume neither was happy with the 0:0 result, though it reflects more poorly on Monaco who were hard favourites.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Bordeaux’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

The visitors will likely miss the support of having a home-field advantage. Their latest 3 home games were marked by more than 5 goals in total and it remains to be seen what they can do to extend the positive trend away from home as well.

It’s clear that Monaco are the favourites in this matchup, and they have the numbers to back that up. They faced Bordeaux earlier this season and snagged a decisive victory which they’ll be looking to repeat.

We’re in for an exciting showdown – due to a complete lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams have their full lineups at their disposal. Because they are more likely to win, though, this should work out in the visitors’ advantage.

Our tip is to risk an Over 3.5 Goals wager. The 1 are worth giving up the relative safety of a simpler Over 2.5. That said, it’s still a relatively riskier bet than what some punters might prefer.
