Lille vs Strasbourg prediction: Le Racing to inflict fifth straight defeat on Mastiffs
Key stats
- Lille are on a four-match losing streak across all competitions.
- The Mastiffs have conceded the joint-most goals of any team in the top six (25).
- Strasbourg are on a seven-match unbeaten streak across all competitions.
- Le Racing have scored 14 goals across their last five matches.
Correct score prediction: Lille 1-2 Strasbourg
Following a fourth successive competitive defeat, at the hands of Celta Vigo, things seem hazy for Bruno Genesio’s men, who are seeking a first victory in three Ligue 1 games. Having fired blanks in each of their last two league defeats, Lille will look to avoid losing three top-flight games without scoring for the first time in a decade.
Strasbourg, on the other hand, are in buoyant form after a hard-fought 2-1 victory over bottom-placed Metz – their seventh consecutive fixture without tasting defeat. Evidently, under new manager Gary O’Neil, Le Racing have shown no signs of missing now Chelsea coach Liam Rosenior.
Although Strasbourg are winless in six straight away Ligue 1 games, their current form should inspire them to defy the odds and beat a Lille side now winless in back-to-back home games.

- HOME: 1/1 (2.00) – 50%
