The game
For their return to Ligue 2, Bordeaux and its young shoots have reassured about their ability to adapt in the antechamber of Ligue 1. With 4 points on the clock (0-0 draw against Valenciennes A then 3-0 victory at Rodez) , the Navy and White are already in the top three. This good start is to be confirmed against the Chamois Niortais.
Defeated on their ground against Bastia (1-4) after an inaugural victory in Annecy (1-2), the Deux-Sèvres club separated last weekend from their coach Sebastien Desabre who will become DR Congo coach. Niort, who is starting his 11th consecutive season in the professional world at this level, is in shock! As for the supporters of the René Gaillard stadium, it was disappointment and surprise that prevailed. While waiting for the new captain of the Niortais ship, a temporary staff made up ofArnaud Gonzalez, Andre Dona-Ndoh or Pascal Landaiswill take over from Matmut Atlantique. 
Prognosis
If Niort’s first two games were prolific, the Gironde defense and its rigorous organization should leave less space for the Chamois. But, given the recent reluctance of their home defense, the Niortais should also seriously tighten the bolts at the Matmut Atlantic… which suggests some complications at the offensive level for the Bordeaux players who will still have to make some adjustments…
For these reasons, despite a meeting struggling to open up for our Bordeaux residents, I’m voting a 2-0 win… A victory that will eventually emerge given the carelessness of our youth, their bite and the prevailing euphoria of the moment…
