The Girondins de Bordeaux are facing a crucial clash against Eintracht Frankfurt for the 5th day of the Europa League. Currently at the bottom of Group F with three defeats and only one victory, Bordeaux needs a win to keep their hopes alive for qualification to the round of 16. Eintracht Frankfurt, leading the group, is looking to consolidate their qualification and potentially secure the top spot depending on other results.
Despite the challenging situation, Bordeaux player Henri Saivet believes that they have “a card to play.” According to Saivet, Bordeaux has nothing more to lose in the group, and to qualify, they need a big performance against Frankfurt. He emphasizes the importance of returning to victory, especially after three consecutive matches without a win. Saivet acknowledges the rigor of German teams but expresses the team’s determination to give their best and potentially secure qualification.
The challenge promises to be tough, but Saivet and the Girondins are approaching the match with the mindset of playing each European encounter as if it were the last, recognizing the significant stakes involved. The team aims to do whatever it takes to win and potentially qualify for the next stage of the competition.
