Two clubs in the opposite halves of the Ligue 1 table will do battle today in a league match between Bordeaux and Evian Thonon Gaillard. The first-division clash scheduled for 2:15 p.m. ET will be held at the Stade Chaban-Delmas in Bordeaux and can be live streamed here free.

Bordeaux goalkeeper Cedric Carrasso had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via Ligue 1's official website): "A defeat always serves as a lesson. We have had a very good start to the season, and now a defeat must automatically be followed by a win in the following game. We have to react after every bad performance if we want to aim for a place at the top end of the table. The most important thing, for the moment, is to stay near the top of the table."

"It's only the start of the season," he added. "It's very tight. We'll see at the end of the season where we are. For now, we have to react against Evian."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: Evian's Yeltsin Tejeda is projected to make his first-ever start for the club this afternoon. The 22-year-old made five appearances for Costa Rica in the 2014 World Cup, averaging 3.2 tackles and one clearance per match.

Bordeaux's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Carrasso; Contento, Ilori, Sane, Mariano; Sertic, Plasil; Belay, Khazri, Rolan; Diabate

Evian's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Hansen; Sabaly, Mensah, Cambon, Abdallah; Tejeda, Sorlin, Kone; N'Sikulu, Bruno, Wass
