Bordeaux’s form has suddenly picked up with back-to-back matches ending without a loss. Girondins are on 26 points and just one point off of Ligue 1’s relegation playoff place. Two points separate Bordeaux from full-blown Ligue 1 safety.

Lyon’s Jason Denayer scored on 29 minutes, but an own goal seven minutes later allowed Bordeaux to equalise. Just before halftime, Lyon’s Thiago Mendes put Lyon back into the lead. In the 58th minute, Bordeaux equalised once more as Alberth Elis scored.
Les Gones are unbeaten in seven straight matches in Ligue 1 against Bordeaux. Bordeaux’s last away win at Lyon was during the 2016-17 season. Lyon claimed one win and three draws against Bordeaux in the teams’ last four matches in Lyon.
