FK Ventspils vs Bordeaux Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Valeria Di Meglio | in Europa League Predictions
Of course the hosts start this tie as the underdogs but will be counting not just on their home advantage but also the fact that they may be fitter by virtue of the Latvia league being in progress and also heading to the match on a five game unbeaten run. However, that may not mean a lot in the end, as Bordeaux have had a great preseason so far and head to the game on an eight match unbeaten run with three wins and two draws in their last five matches. Ventspils will be banking heavily on their home form, which has seen them pick three straight wins, a loss and a draw in the last five outings, scoring 13 goals and conceding four. Generally, they head to the game in fine form, having lost just three games in their last 19 but will have to improve defensively, having managed just three clean sheets in their last 15 matches. With one loss in 10 at home and seven clean sheets in 10 Europa League games at home, the other issue Ventspils will want to focus on is their winning rate in the competition, having picked just three wins in 10 Europa League games. Bordeaux have a draw and four straight wins in their last five away matches, scoring 13 and conceding four in the process. Just like Ventspils, they also need to improve defensively, having managed just two clean sheets in 13 matches. In terms of attack the French side is doing just fine, having netted in 10 of the last 11 games. What they may need to improve on as well is their performance in the competition; Bordeaux have picked just two wins in the last 10 Europa League games and have seven losses in 10 away matches in the competition.

Our FK Ventspils vs Bordeaux Prediction
Ventspils are not regulars in this tournament but they may hold the shock for Bordeaux, and their performance in the previous round should send a statement to the French side, having scored eight goals across the two legs and conceded three. They may not have the same space they enjoyed against Luftetari but the danger is there and Bordeaux will have to be on watch. Both teams have not kept a lot of clean sheets in the recent matches, and perhaps this may be a precursor to both teams scoring. Bordeaux have seven losses in the last 10 away matches in the Europa League but looking at the quality of their opponents here, they could better the run. A draw seems a good pick for this clash.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
