The hosts edged out Nice 3-0 in the reverse game to take home all points despite having only 40% ball possession and playing away from home. With both sides now back to back at fourth and third place respectively before this game, here how these teams may fare on matchday.
Under 2.5 @ 4/5 (1.80)
This is a game between two in-form teams and will be hard-fought on both ends. The hosts won the reverse meeting and look to make good their intentions of pricing away six points from Nice this season. But while this game should end in Strasbourg’s favour, it should be noted that Nice has the second-best away record in the league so far after 12 trips of 8W, 1D and 3L. Moreover, six out of the last seven meetings registered fewer than three goals.
One side scoreline @ 19/20 (1.95)
The last six Strasbourg and Nice meetings had goals on one end. And given the current standing of both teams in Ligue 1, we don’t think this game will be easy for either side. Backing a one-sided scoreline is a sensible.
