The Girondins de Bordeaux are facing a challenging period in both the domestic league and the Europa League. As they prepare to host the Germans from Frankfurt on the 5th day of the Europa League group stage, Bordeaux finds themselves in a difficult position.
In their European campaign so far, Bordeaux has struggled against teams that appear to be within their reach. The team has recorded three defeats, with the most recent loss against APOEL Nicosia (2-1), and only one victory. Currently sitting at the bottom of the group standings with 3 points, they trail their upcoming opponent, Frankfurt, by six points.
In this crucial match to keep their hopes alive for qualification to the round of 16, Bordeaux will be without Landry Nguemo, who was excluded in the previous match. The Cameroonian international’s absence will be felt in the midfield. Additionally, Mathieu André Biyogo Poko is forced to withdraw due to injury.
The Bordeaux group for the match includes players such as Carrasso, Faubert, Henrique, Mariano, Orban, Planus, Poundjé, Sané, Ben Khalfallah, Maurice-Belay, Obraniak, Sertic, Traoré, Diabaté, Jussiê, Rolan, and Saivet. This match represents a last-chance effort for Bordeaux to stay in contention for a spot in the next stage of the Europa League.
