Eight points clear at the top less than two months ago, the champions are now level on points with second-placed Montpellier, who host Auxerre on Saturday.
Bordeaux looked below par in a 1-1 home draw with Montpellier last Sunday and frustrated their supporters even more when they lost 2-1 to Auxerre at their Chaban-Delmas stadium on Wednesday.
"We cannot afford to pick up just one point from two home games," Bordeaux defender Mathieu Chalme told reporters after the game. "For a team fighting for the title, it is simply not good enough."

"Bordeaux losing is good news to us but we must concentrate on what we need to do," Brazilian defender Cris, the Lyon captain, told reporters. "Bordeaux are still the leaders and even if we are looking good, we have not won anything yet."
