Ligue 1 – Bordeaux vs Lille: Crucial Clash for Sagnol’s Men
The Girondins de Bordeaux are gearing up to face Lille in a high-stakes encounter as part of Matchday 15 in Ligue 1. This match holds significant importance for Bordeaux, who aim to reclaim 4th place, currently held by Rennes after their impressive 2-0 win over Monaco on Saturday.
Following their defeat to Marseille, Willy Sagnol’s side must bounce back—especially since they will enjoy the home advantage. The pressure is on, and there is little room for error.
Team News:
Henri Saivet returns and is included in the squad—a boost for Bordeaux’s attacking options.
Cedric Yambéré and Marc Planus are rested.
Sala and Faubert remain sidelined due to injury.
Bordeaux’s squad:
Carrasso, Jug – Contento, Ilori, Mariano, Pallois, Poundjé, Sané – Kaabouni, Khazri, Maurice-Belay, Plasil, Sertic, Traoré – Diabaté, Rolan, Saivet, Touré
With offensive assets like Rolan, Diabaté, and Khazri, and the return of Saivet, Bordeaux will look to capitalize on Lille’s struggles to make a statement and get back into European contention.
