Far from the lights of Ligue 1, the Girondins de Bordeaux will try to continue their adventure in the Coupe de France by challenging Les Herbiers in the 8th round on Sunday, with the desire to why not find an Elite club in the next round.
Relegated to the amateur world after filing for bankruptcy at the end of last season, the Girondins are trying as best they can to exist on the media scene. While they are having a great season in National 2, occupying fourth place in Group B thanks to a great run of eight games without defeat, the Bordelais also want to shine in the Coupe de France so why not rediscover the joys of facing a another major French club. But to have this chance from the 32nd finals at the end of 2024, the FCGB will first have to get rid of the Herbiers trap in the 8th round on Sunday. A meeting in which Bordeaux will not really be favorites against the finalist club of the 2018 edition. This is in any case the opinion of Jonathan d’Agostino, for whom Bordeaux should have the greatest difficulty against the Vendée club.

“Les Herbiers are favorites, in my opinion, because they are used to the Coupe de France and they are the first N2 level team that Bordeaux will face in this competition. In addition, they achieved a feat in the previous round of the Coupe de France by eliminating Ligue 2 club AC Ajaccio. The game often goes through the sides in the possession phase and this team likes to get over the defense when it plays straight. They also extend the play on the sides. In addition, they also make a good start to the match and it is not uncommon to see them score in the first quarter of an hour, even if, since the absence of Jérémy Billy, their injured striker, it is less visible. . In addition, they are very effective away: three victories in the last four matches with eight goals scored and two goals conceded.launched the WebGirondins columnist, who also knows that Bordeaux will not have the support of its twelfth man, knowing that this match will be played behind closed doors in the small Stade Sainte-Germaine. It’s up to the Girondins to achieve the “feat” against a solid team of their level.
