Nantes to avoid defeat
Strasbourg have struggled to find their footing this season; in four league matches, they have two draws and two losses. Just like Strasbourg, Nantes have not exactly enjoyed their best run of form recently; they've managed just one win in their last six matches across all competitions, with two draws and three losses. However, that loss came in Nantes' last match over the weekend; which means they're coming into this match with some confidence. Taking both teams' recent struggles into account, we believe that this match will likely end in a stalemate; however, looking at the odds offered here, we would like to cover Nantes as well.
Both teams to score
First of all, we should mention that both teams tend to score when Strasbourg host Nantes; as four of Nantes' last five trips to the Stade de la Meinau featured goals at both ends. We should also mention both teams' recent struggles defensively; as Strasbourg conceded in 10 of their last 11 games, while Nantes have one clean sheet in their last six games. It's important to note that both teams were on the score sheet in three of Strasbourg's last four, and in all of Nantes' last three matches. With that in mind, we believe that both teams will find the back of the net in this match.

Can Strasbourg find a first win of the season?
It's been a tough start to the season for Strasbourg but they'll have ambitions of winning this game given Nantes aren't exactly tearing things up themselves. That said, the visitors will see Strasbourg's form and believe this game is there for the taking as well. It should all make for a good spectacle.
Maxime Le Marchand picked up a knock in Strasbourg's loss at Auxerre last weekend, he will be a doubt for this match. Strasbourg have a lengthy injury list, which includes Lucas Perrin, Gerzino Nyamsi, Karol Fila, Ibrahima Sissoko and Nordine Kandil.
Strasbourg Predicted lineup – Sels, Doukoure, Pierre-Gabriel, Djiku, Delaine, Thomasson, Prcic, Bellegarde, Lienard, Gameiro, Ajorque
Nantes' first win of the season last weekend came at great cost, as they lost Quentin Merlin and Moses Simon to injuries. Both players will join Moussa Sissoko in the recovery room; as the French Midfielder picked up a hamstring injury in their season opener. Barring these three players, Nantes have no other concerns ahead of this match.
Nantes Predicted lineup – Lafont, Fábio, Castelletto, Pallois, Appiah, Moutoussamy, Girotto, Chirivella, Coco, Guessand, Doucet
