Currently struggling at the bottom of the Ligue 1 table in 17th place with 7 points from 8 games, Bordeaux faces a crucial challenge as they prepare to host Maccabi Tel-Aviv on Thursday evening for the 2nd day of the Europa League. The match holds significant importance for the Girondins, who had a disappointing start in the competition and risk compromising their chances of qualifying if they suffer a defeat against the leaders of the Israeli championship.
Lamine Sané, a Bordeaux defender, emphasized the importance of the upcoming match against Maccabi Tel-Aviv on the official website of the club. “It will absolutely be necessary to achieve a result. We are playing at home, we have everything going for us to win this match. Either way, you have to take each match independently and win them one after the other.” Sané’s words highlight the team’s determination to secure a positive outcome in a bid to revive their fortunes in both domestic and European competitions.
