Bordeaux have had a firing start to the season so far winning 6 out of 7 games with a single draw, and Laurent Blanc is looking to lead the team to a yet another victory to try and widen the gap with Lyon who play later on in the evening. St. Etienne have been a completely mixed bag team whose form has been completely indifferent this year with 2 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. The small size of Etienne's team is their main downfall. Alan Perrin has clearly stated that as the major benefit for Blanc's side, and feel they have a strength and depth of the squad to challenge on all fronts. Bordeaux will probably get all their rested players into action today and with the likes of Cavenaghi, Jussie, Fernando, Bellion sitting on the bench, it clearly shows you what a difference it can make to any side. Gourcuff is the only major injury concern who left in the middle of the Champions League match last time around. Bordeaux should grab all 3 points here.
