LIGUE 1


A swift look, at a couple of matches in France today.


It may surprise some of you that I am not backing PSG, who have done so fantastically well for us in recent weeks. They will probably win, but I see little value in the odds and they have played a lot of football, in a short period of time.


Also heard that St Etienne, who lost heavily at home last week, had a few players who were suffering from a virus that day and that, all have now recovered.


Bordeaux had a tiring, extended match, at Osasuna on Thursday and are without a couple of key players for the visit of strugglers Valenciennes. So why am I siding with the hosts ?


They really need the win today, a victory will take Les Girondins to within 2 points of a Champions League spot and whatever side they put out, should be capable of beating the visitors, who are 2-1-11 on the road, conceding exactly 2 per game and failing to score in 8.


Valenciennes have played well at home, but struggle on the road and player for player, there is a gulf in class. Home win for me.


4 points Bordeaux -1/2 ball asian line 1.80.


Good Luck.
