Saturday’s National 2 Group A showdown between Montlouis and Bordeaux at the Stade Eugène Cholet promises to be an intriguing encounter. As the two teams take to the field, a notable trend emerges - Bordeaux’s recent form suggests they may hold the upper hand.

Bordeaux has been on a tear, with their away form being particularly impressive. They will look to capitalize on Montlouis’s home turf, a venue where the hosts have struggled to find consistency. The numbers also back Bordeaux - with a projected win probability of 45% and an expected goal tally of -3.5, on the away side.

For Montlouis, a win is crucial as it would help them climb up the Group A standings. However, a tough ask looms - with only a 10% chance of winning. The double chance market, suggests a more likely outcome - either a draw or a Bordeaux win.

Tactically, the visitors will aim to stifle Montlouis’s attacking flair - nullifying their goal-scoring threat. By doing so, they would take a giant leap towards the points that would propel them forward in the table.

Will Montlouis defy the odds and secure an upset victory? Or will Bordeaux assert their dominance and take all three points on offer? The Stade Eugène Cholet will be the stage for this National 2 Group A thriller - with kickoff slated for Saturday at 18:00 GMT.
