Betting tips – Bordeaux vs Saint Etienne – 13.08.2016

Bordeaux and Saint Etienne will be face to face Saturday afternoon from 16:00, UK Time, in the opening round of French Ligue 1. The odds are well-balanced and nothing should surprise us here.

Bordeaux finished on the 11th position last campaign, but now they are ready to fight for an Europa League spot. The hosts struggled in the defense last season, conceding 57 goals in 38 games. They have also shown a bad form this summer, proof that they won only one friendly out of six, conceding a total of nine goals, 1,5 per game.

The other side, Saint Etienne finished on the 6th place last campaign, qualifying for Europa League. They faced AEK Athens in the preliminary rounds, eliminating the Greeks after 0-0 in France and 1-0 in Greece. Saint Etienne didn’t impress in the summer friendlies, winning only one game. They recorded one more draw and two losses. Saint Etienne managed to win the last trip here very clear, 4-1, six months ago. That is their only victory in the last five meetings with Bordeaux.

Bordeaux vs Saint Etienne prediction: Under 2,5 goals @ 1.55
The last meeting produced five goals, but four of the previous five matches ended with under 2,5 results. We expect a tight game here, not so spectacular, with maximum two goals.
