As part of the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, the Girondins de Bordeaux (L2) host OGC Nice (L1) this Saturday.
Bordeaux-Nice, before the match
In great difficulty in Ligue 2 (15th after 20 days), the Girondins de Bordeaux narrowly qualified for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. Albert Riera’s men won on penalties against the Entente SSG fans (1-1, 2 tab 4). The task promises to be difficult for the scapular club, which welcomes OGC Nice to Matmut Atlantique this Saturday (5:30 p.m.).
Opposite, the Aiglons had a strong first part of the season, but are less confident at the start of the year. Beaten last weekend in Rennes (2-0), the Gym validated its ticket to the previous round of the Coupe de France by overcoming Auxerre on penalties (0-0, 4 tab 2).
Bordeaux-Nice, the probable line-up
Three absences are to be deplored from the Bordeaux coast: De Amorim and De Lima, injured as well as Bokele, who left to compete in the CAN.
Francesco Farioli will have to do without Perraud, injured, Atal, Boudaoui, Boga and Moffi, with their selection. Recruited this winter from Real Sociedad, Cho should experience his first start under his new colors.
Bordeaux: Johnsson – Michelin, Marcelin, Barbet, Nsimba – Diaz, Ignatenko, Weissbeck – Elis, Vipotnik, Livolant
Nice: Bulka – Lotomba, Todibo, Dante, Bard – Sanson, Ndayishimiye, Thuram – Laborde, Guessand, Cho
