Strasbourg

LWWDWL

Strasbourg will be hoping for a better result following a 1-0 Ligue 1 defeat in their last game at the hands of Lille.

In that match, Strasbourg managed 47% possession and 8 shots on goal with 2 on target. On the other side, Lille had 6 attempts at goal with 2 on target. Jonathan David (13') scored for Lille.

Their latest results show that much solidity has been shown by the Strasbourg defence. Strasbourg have given the opposition little, seeing the number of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their past six matches standing at 4. In any event, time will tell if that pattern might continue on in this next match.

Heading into this contest, Strasbourg are undefeated in their previous 2 league matches at home.

Nice

📰 Team News: Strasbourg

Karol Fila (Cruciate ligament tear) and Lebo Mothiba (Patellar tendon rupture) will be missing for Strasbourg manager Patrick Vieira.

In all likelihood, Le Racing will probably opt for a 3-4-3 system for this game with Alaa Bellaarouch, Saidou Sow, Lucas Perrin, Abakar Sylla, Frederic Guilbert, Ibrahima Sissoko, Andrey Santos, Thomas Delaine, Dilane Bakwa, Kevin Gameiro and Habib Diarra.

📰 Team News: Nice

Owing to an otherwise full-strength group of players, there’s only the one fitness worry for the Nice boss Francesco Farioli to contend with. Alexis Beka Beka (depression) won’t be in action.

We are inclined to think that Les Aiglons appear most likely to play in a 4-3-3 formation with a starting lineup of Marcin Bulka, Jordan Lotomba, Jean-Clair Todibo, Dante, Melvin Bard, Hichem Boudaoui, Pablo Rosario, Morgan Sanson, Mohamed-Ali Cho, Terem Moffi and Gaetan Laborde.

⚡ Prediction

When taking everything into account, Strasbourg could well find it tough to see themselves scoring against this Nice team who we think should manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.

We’re therefore anticipating a 0-1 advantage for Nice at the end of the 90 minutes.

Should be interesting.
