Good evening and welcome to our site to follow live the meeting between Bordeaux and OM on behalf of the 22nd day of Ligue 1. The Marseillais have not beaten the Bordelais on their lawn since the year of grace 1478, that is 542 years. That year, Louis XI was still king of France and the Swiss had sharply beaten the Milanese during the battle of Giornico.
For this meeting, OM, second in the classification but with only two points ahead of their pursuer Rennes, should find Benedetto at the forefront of the attack, and Morgan Sanson in the midfield. The Marseille club will especially be able to count on their Portuguese coach André Villas-Boas who has enabled his team to overcome the Indian sign against the heavyweights of the championship.
The Marine et Blanc club is better for him, after having interrupted in Nantes (1-0) a series of four losses in a row in L1 initiated … by the defeat of the first leg at the Vélodrome (3-1). Their captain Benoît Costil was filmed in the locker room motivating his troops: "Marseille is the game of the year! It is forbidden to give up."
This preparation surprised Villas-Boas who found "curious that we are focusing on the game of the year against OM, but I have learned this season: when OM play, these are important matches for everyone." Costil's motivational speech will be "used in the same way", promised the Marseille coach. Without however exaggerating its effects.
The meeting will kick off at 9 p.m. We meet around 8:30 p.m. to fully enter this match and answer your questions.
