Bordeaux’s recent performance

After a good start to the season, the Bordeaux fell in yield. In the last nine matches for Ligue 1, suffered six defeats. In the three games he scored, it was two draws and only one win.
This, of course, caused a drop in the rating table. With 20 points (five wins, five draws and six defeats), Bordeaux, who flirted with the European tournament qualifying zone, saw teams fighting against relegation approach. The distance to Toulouse, eighteenth placed and who opens this block, is only four points.
Duels at home have been instrumental in preventing an even bigger downfall. With 14 points (four wins, two draws and one defeat), Bordeaux are the eighth best in this category in the current season of the French Championship.
Adept to use the system with three defenders, the technician Jocelyn Gouvernec has two problems in the sector. Holder Vukasin Jovanovic (14 matches in the 2017/2018 French Championship without a goal) is out with a foot injury. You must pass a new exam to see if you can play.
This situation is aggravated by the fact that Igor Lewczuk (five games, no goal), which would be the first option to replace him, also be in the care of the medical department with a knee injury. Also in the infirmary is the striker Gaetan Laborde (five games, no goal).

With 18 points (four wins, six draws and six defeats), he took the sixteenth place. They are just two points more than Toulouse, eighteenth placed, which opens the sticking region.
To try to stay above the court, coach Thierry Laurey also has to manage medical problems. They are in injury treatment and depend on a new evaluation to know if defenders Dimitri Foulquier (a performance in the French Championship 2017/2018, without a goal) and Ismael Aaneba (without performances) may play; and socks Benjamin Corgnet (seven games, no goal) and Lucien Zohi (no performances).
