Bordeaux coach Francis Gillot has reason to be optimistic as his team prepares to face Olympique de Marseille (OM) this Saturday in the 37th round of Ligue 1. With the return of Guillaume Hoarau and Nicolas Maurice-Belay, Gillot’s side aims to continue their impressive home record against Marseille. The Phocaeans have struggled to secure a win in Gironde for the past 37 years.
A win at the Chaban-Delmas stadium would significantly benefit OM in their European ambitions. However, Bordeaux is determined to finish the season strongly at home. Gillot will be counting on the contributions of Hoarau and Maurice-Belay, as well as Cheick Diabaté, who is dealing with knee issues. Unfortunately for Bordeaux, Senegalese player Henri Saivet will be unavailable for the match.
Bordeaux’s squad for the match includes:
Goalkeepers: Carrasso, Jug Defenders: Mariano, Sané, Orban, Planus, Henrique, Pellenard, Faubert, Chalmé Midfielders: Poko, Nguemo, Sertic, Traoré Forwards: Diabaté, Rolan, Hoarau, Maurice-Belay
