On the contrary, Strasbourg have not been beaten since the 24th of September across five consecutive matches, having gained single victory and four draws in them. Last weekend the club earned 2:2 draw against Amiens in face of its supporters. Despite that series of the taken points, the Ligue 1 debutant cannot get out from the relegation zone. The side sits on the 18th place in the elite division table with 10 points gained and 13-20 goal difference in 10 rounds played. On the road Strasbourg deserved five points with 4-12 goal difference.
Troyes together with Strasbourg entered the French elite division after the last season, having swopped by the home triumphs with 2:0 and 4:0 scorelines in last season’s Ligue 2. However, the upcoming game will become a clash between the two outsiders of the top division, not between two leaders of the Ligue 2 which got used to playing rather in defense than in attack, therefore, one shouldn’t expect for many goals scored this time.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
