In a weekend match in week 28, on Saturday Mar 18th, Bordeaux will host Nîmes at Stade Matmut-atlantique in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Ligue 2 teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 12 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. Bordeaux sits at 2nd place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-1 draw against Sochaux. Bakwa scored the first goal for Bordeaux in the 30th minute, but Weissbeck got the equalizer for Sochaux in the 40th minute squeezing out at least the one point for Sochaux. Bordeaux is looking for direction having 4 win and 2 losses in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Nîmes recorded a 2-0 shutout win against Quevilly Rouen. Pablo Pagis struck first for Nîmes in the 66th minute on a feed from Rafiki Said Ahamada, then Pablo Pagis added another in the 71st minute In the end, Quevilly Rouen couldn’t muster any offence and Nîmes ran away with the shutout win. Nîmes looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10.
In their last match on the 5th of November, Nîmes won by a score of 1 to 0. N’guessan Jean Frederic Kouadio scored the first goal for Nîmes in the 6th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Bordeaux couldn’t manage to score, and Nîmes took the shutout win.
Pablo Pagis has been the most prolific scorer on Nîmes in his last 5 matches with 3 goals. Bordeaux’s most prolific scorer has been Aliou Badji. He has netted 3 goals over the last five matches.
