Strasbourg form and stats

Strasbourg's struggle is real here at Stade de la Meinau with only 12 points collected from 14 Ligue 1 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-6-6.

Strasbourg shared the glory with Olympique Marseille in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Olympique Marseille as Aholou's goal in the 89th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes. Midfield player Aholou got a match rating of 8.41 in that game, the max score being 10. Aholou scored two goals, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 50 successful passes (of 60 total).

Before that game, the home loss against Brest with the scoreline 0-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Strasbourg have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 18 games) they have won 9 times, drawn 4 and lost 5.

Observe: 15 of the most recent 20 league matches from this football club have had goals from both sides.

The Strasbourg fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 14 matches. Strasbourg have conceded 22 from these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
