Team News

Bordeaux
  • Bordeaux will again be without playmaker Ludovic Obraniak, who may not play again this year due to an ankle injury.
  • Benoit Tremoulinas and Jussie are both doubts, Andre Biyogo Poke is suspended and Abdou Traore is still to return to full fitness.
Troyes
  • Troyes striker Jean-Christophe Bahebeck is expected to miss the trip to Bordeaux with a thigh injury.
  • Rincon and Matthieu Saunier remain out with calf problems, Maxime Colin has a thigh problem, while Stephane Drouin is absent with a groin complaint.
  • Sebastien Grax is still recovering from a long-term injury, and Sylvain Monsoreau is expected to remain on the sidelines with a calf injury.

Prediction

  • Bordeaux welcome Troyes to the Stade Chaban Delmas hoping to avoid an 11th draw of a season defined by their inability to put teams to the sword.
  • Les Girondins have won just one of their last six encounters in the league, and they will be hoping to finish the calendar year on a high against a Troyes team that earned only their second victory of the campaign last time out.
  • Jean-Marc Furlan's strugglers almost threw away a three goal lead against Ajaccio, but were able to hang on and gain three points which should give them added confidence ahead of a difficult away trip.
  • Expect Francis Gillot's side to dominate proceedings in front of their home fans, and although Troyes should provide some resistance, Bordeaux should be able to gain a valuable three points.
