Bordeaux – Juventus, Match Preview – Champions League
Bordeaux are staying on the top of the group. They are performing well over the expectations and enjoying their lead.
Juventus on the other hand have been in a good shape recently except the last matchday that they played Udinese. They struggled to open the lock and seemed ineffective, although Udinese’s tough defense has to be underlined here.
Bordeaux in this match will probably be without creative attacking midfielder Gourcuff and the attacker Chamakh as they are doubtful. Without this duo Bordeaux’ offensive power would suddenly down to a mediocre quality.
Juventus on the other hand are nearly full squad and Del Piero might find a place on the pitch for this game.
Both teams are looking to advance and they won’t risk to lose a game before the last matchday. Therefore I expect both teams to play a cautious style from the beginning. Bordeaux anyway will be OK with a draw in this match while their best players are named doubtful. Even if they manage to play it is hard to expect a top performance from them. As for the prediction; I’ll go for a double chance in favor of Juventus.
