Strasbourg vs Bordeaux: prediction for the Ligue 1 match

Strasbourg is still in the search of their game, but it is clear that northerners are looking better and better. After 15 rounds of the current season The White-Blues have five victories and five draws in the asset, which earned them 20 points and an 8th spot in the standings. Team is only five points adrift from the European competitions zone. 

In three most recent matches hosts drew to Nantes (2:2), Reims (1:1) and Monaco (1:1). Team's offensive line is looking great, they scored 26 goals in the current season. 

Le Marchand and Mothiba are on team's injuried list. 

In the previous season Bordeaux got off to a great start, but then fell out of form and barely avoided relegation to Ligue 2. Start of the current season is marred with inconsistency and after 15 rounds team is lying at the 16th position. The Marines and Whitesrecorded only two victories and seven draws, which earned them 13 points, they are tied with Clermont, who are in the relegation zone. 

Team has the worst defensive record in the league, they conceded 32 goals. After a draw to Metz (3:3) Girondins suffered a home defeat to Brest (1:2).
