In the opening game of the French Ligue 2, Pau will face Bordeaux.

Last season, Pau managed to secure their spot in the second division by finishing two points above the relegation spots.

They secured crucial wins against Rodez (3-2) and Caen (1-0) in the final two games of the previous season.

On the other hand, Bordeaux experienced a disappointing end to their season, suffering two defeats in the final two rounds, which cost them promotion to Ligue 1.

As a result, they will begin the French Ligue 2 campaign in last place with a minus one point (-1) due to a disciplinary decision after an incident involving a fan.

Despite this setback, Bordeaux had a promising pre-season, losing only one game against Osasuna (0-1).

They are in good form and ready to compete. On the other hand, Pau’s pre-season performances have been weaker in comparison.

Considering the historical head-to-head matches, they played a 1-1 draw in their most recent friendly game, Bordeaux won 2-0 in a previous encounter, and they played another 1-1 draw in the 2022 season.

Taking all these factors into account, we predict that Bordeaux will be motivated to start the season on a positive note and will likely take all three points from this match.
