Command Analysis
Strasbourg
Current form
Hugo Oliveira's team is in crisis and has been unable to win in the last five rounds (four defeats and one draw). The team cannot get on the winning track. The Alsatians suffered a crushing defeat against Rennes in the last round, conceding two goals in the first and one in the second half. A match earlier, Strasbourg failed to beat the best club in France on its own field, losing 1-3 to PSG. The team scored first and led the score until the 77th minute, but failed in the end and conceded three goals - 1:3 in total. Seven points in the asset allows you to be in a saving 15th place in the standings.
Disqualifications and injuries
Panicelli and Balde will miss the game due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
In the last three face-to-face meetings, Strasbourg scored eight goals for Auxerre.
Strasbourg have conceded at least two goals in the last four rounds
The new season was a real challenge for Auxerre, but the team was able to overcome the difficulties, won three times in five rounds and left the danger zone. However, we note that the defense is acting uncertainly and has already conceded 18 goals – one of the worst indicators in Ligue 1. Such results allow us to occupy 11th place in the standings, but the gap from the opponents from the basement of the table is only four points.
In the last round, the Burgundians faced Le Mans and failed to earn three points. The match ended in a 1-1 goalless draw, both goals were scored at the beginning of the second half. Prior to this match, Will Still's team beat Le Havre, the outsider of the French Championship, 3-1 on the road.
Disqualifications and injuries
Labo Lascari, S. Fofana, Diousse and Oko will miss the game due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
Auxerre has scored at least one goal in five consecutive matches.
The team can't win three games in a row in Strasbourg.
Strasbourg is striving to overcome the crisis and achieve a long-awaited victory. The home team is fighting for survival, and winning today's game will solve many tournament challenges. On the contrary, a defeat can throw the Alsatians into the basement of the standings, and it's not worth putting off ambitions to break into the top 10 for a long time. Oliveira's team does not have any difficulties with the Burgundians in personal meetings (four wins in the last five matches), and we believe that experience and a more powerful squad will allow us to get on the winning track and earn three points.
The prediction is that Strasbourg will win with a coefficient of 1.82
Since the start of Ligue 1, an average of three goals have been scored in Strasbourg's matches, and the Burgundians' defense is not the most reliable – 18 goals have been conceded. But at the same time, we note that more than three goals in the last five matches of Oliveira's wards were scored only in the match against PSG. The hosts intend to act as the first number and not forget about the defensive line. We believe that the opponents will not be able to break through the main total.
The betting tip is a total of less than 3.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.60
A bet on the exact difference in the bill
Strasbourg looks more powerful in terms of composition, does not have the right to make mistakes in the confrontation and will prefer to play the first number. In the previous two home face-to-face matches out of three in Ligue 1, the hosts won by two goals. Let's bet on the victory of the Alsatians with a two-goal difference.
The betting tip is a victory for Strasbourg with a two—goal difference with a coefficient of 4.80
