On Friday night, Strasbourg host Lille at the Stade de la Meinau as both teams look to start a positive run of form in the French top flight.
Strasbourg
The home team are not enjoying a great Ligue One campaign and currently sit in 14th place in a congested section of the table. They are currently only outside the relegation zone due to a superior goal difference to 17th Ajaccio.
In fact, Strasbourg had failed to win in Ligue One this season until a 3-2 victory at Angers last time out. Their last league game followed a high-scoring trend, as their previous three league matches have all now produced over 2.5 goals.
Poor home form has not helped Strasbourg’s chances of mounting a positive run, as they have failed to win in five home games in the French top flight.
Their recent home games in Ligue One have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in nine of their previous 13 matches.
Lille
LOSC heads into this clash on the back of an inconsistent recent run of form. The visitors have won four and lost three of their last seven matches in the French top flight.
Last time out in Ligue One, Lille recorded a 1-0 home win over Lens. The game ended a high-scoring run of games for LOSC in the Ligue One, as their previous seven Ligue One matches had all produced over 2.5 goals.
Unsurprisingly, Lille has a mixed recent away record in the French top flight. They have lost their last two away games in the league, having also won just three of their previous nine away games.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Lille will end their recent poor away run by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
