Bordeaux vs Valenciennes Prediction & Betting Tips (23 January)

After a break due to the Coupe de France, Ligue 2 is back in the middle of the week. The matches of the 21st day will be played this Tuesday at 8:45 p.m. There will notably be this meeting between the Girondins de Bordeaux and Valenciennes FC, at Matmut Atlantique. Despite their last defeat against OGC Nice in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France 2-3, the Girondins de Bordeaux showed a good face. They will certainly rely on this performance to raise their head in the championship, even though they have only won one of their last 5 days. Only 15th in the ranking, Albert Riera's team will have enough to return to victory on its next day.

Their next opponent is in last position in Ligue 2. Valenciennes FC is already 11 lengths behind the first non-relegation team. He has only had one success in nearly 20 days. Even if the northern club has just qualified for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, after beating Paris FC 2-1, it will certainly have difficulty continuing in Ligue 2. Especially since it only took only one point in their last 4 trips to the league.

Over the course of their last 19 Ligue 2 matches, Valenciennes have kept an impressive tally of 14 clean sheets, so finding a way through against Valenciennes can prove difficult. Given that just three of the most recent 13 top-flight fixtures involving Bordeaux have served up goals at both ends of the pitch, it is hard to see much of a deviation from the script.
