Strasbourg won Ligue 3 last season, gaining 58 points in 34 matches with 35-19 goal difference. The team has a solid start in Ligue 2 and currently occupies second position in the Ligue 2. Strasbourg advanced for this stage after beating Niort, 1-0. The team is currently on seven-match undefeated run that last since the middle of May. On top of that, the team is undefeated in their away matches since February, taking three wins and four draws in seven matches.
Both team show defensive football and combine small number of goals allowed this season. We shouldn’t expect the opponents to create numerous chances and the winner is likely to be decided by one goal.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
