Bordeaux’s form has suddenly picked up with back-to-back matches ending without a loss. Girondins are on 26 points and just one point off of Ligue 1’s relegation playoff place. Two points separate Bordeaux from full-blown Ligue 1 safety.
On Sunday, Bordeaux will visit ninth-place Lyon. Les Gones are unbeaten in three straight Ligue 1 matches. Lyon are on 47 points from 31 matches. They are five points off of fourth-place Strasbourg in the race for European qualification for next season.

Bordeaux claimed a 2-2 draw versus Lyon earlier this season. Girondins twice came from behind to claim the point.
Lyon’s Jason Denayer scored on 29 minutes, but an own goal seven minutes later allowed Bordeaux to equalise. Just before halftime, Lyon’s Thiago Mendes put Lyon back into the lead. In the 58th minute, Bordeaux equalised once more as Alberth Elis scored.
Les Gones are unbeaten in seven straight matches in Ligue 1 against Bordeaux. Bordeaux’s last away win at Lyon was during the 2016-17 season. Lyon claimed one win and three draws against Bordeaux in the teams’ last four matches in Lyon.
Lyon took eight points from the last 18 points on offer in the division. They scored 10 goals, but conceded nine times. Lyon are unbeaten in three straight Ligue 1 matches.
Bordeaux picked up five points from the last 18 available to them. Their last two matches in Ligue 1 ended without a defeat.
Girondins have the second worst away points total in Ligue 1. Each of their last six away matches finished without a win. Bordeaux have picked up 12 points on the road in 15 matches. They are –23 in goals on the road this term.
No team in Ligue 1 has conceded more goals than Bordeaux. Girondins have allowed 71 goals to opponents.
Lyon have picked up 29 points at home from 16 matches. Four of their last six Ligue 1 matches finished as wins. Lyon have a home record of 8W-5D-3L.
The last two matches between Lyon and Bordeaux in Ligue 1 finished with both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals scored. This trend should continue on Sunday as Lyon and Bordeaux both find the back of the net and combine for more than 2.5 goals.
Lyon should continue their good form against Bordeaux with a win at full-time. Bordeaux’s poor away form should continue at Lyon as they fell to an eighth away defeat.
