Gillot said they got a good draw. Yeah its not a Spanish, English, Italian, or German team but its a team that was in the Champions League and a place where its difficult for away teams to play.
psg-valencia good draw, not the best but spanish teams aren't known for their defenses so they should be fine funny how the team that did the best in EL did not get a favorable or easy draw, as for bordeaux, tough team away but they also won't be at 100% since they have longer winter breaks(december to march)
Bordeaux vs Benfica. Benfica is probably better but Bordeaux can win. Who are Benfica's best players ?
cardozo, aimar, witsel, gaitan, luisao experienced cb, garay not the best but pretty good cb bordeaux will put up a fight but offensively i think benfica will be too much
Looks like Benfica has more ofensive talent but Dynamo Kiev dominated play and the posession and Bordeaux held firm and they will need to get a goal on a set piece and win 1-0 to have a chance.
Expected Line-ups: Benfica: Artur, Garay, Melgarejo, Luisao, Pereira, Matic, Perez, John, Salvio, Cardozo and Lima Bordeaux: Carrasso, Henrique, Planus, Faubert, Tremoulinas, Traore, Sane, Plasil, Obraniak, Diabate, Maurice-Belay
Bordeaux owned them in there own stadium ,Bordeaux had alot more chances would be nice to see them move up he ladder !
didnt see the game but heard similar things, im kinda surprised to be frank since i rated benfica's offense as one of the better in EL
We are still in 6th. Portugal finished ahead of us. At least 2 years now of our 3rd place team playing 2 Champions League qualifying rounds. Thats not good.
