Out-of-sorts Bordeaux's woes were compounded on Wednesday when Laurent Blanc's reigning French champions were defeated 2-0 at Valenciennes.

This latest loss left Bordeaux's prospects of qualifying for the Champions League almost non existent, even the Europa League could be a struggle as they remained in sixth place, on 57 points, 15 adrift of leaders Marseille.

They have mustered only one point from a possible 18 this month.

Valenciennes' reward was to move up a rung into 10th with 48 points, their best tally since rejoining the top flight in 2006.

Gregory Pujol lobbed an advancing Ulrick Rame with a header in the 11th minute with Algeria international Foued Kadir sealing the three points 18 minutes from time.

Pujol had two other attempts disallowed for offside in the second half.

Despite Bordeaux's array of talent including Moroccan international Marouane Chamakh who is quitting the club at the end of the season they were unable to conjure up a response.
