An away draw last time out for Nice, facing Paris Saint Germain in a game that ended 0-0. Walter Benítez, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 7.82 out of 10 in that game. Benítez stopped the opponent with five saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Strasbourg form and stats

Strasbourg have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Ligue 1, after 1-3-3 (7 played). Strasbourg has drawn their two previous away games.

Strasbourg are travelling after their nice 5-2 home win in the Ligue 1 against Bordeaux (placed 18th). As you can tell from the result, the match against Bordeaux was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today? Attacker Ludovic Ajorque got a player rating of 8.41 in the game. "Man of the match" Ajorque scored two goals, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Before that, Strasbourg travelled to Monaco and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

Strasbourg are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, three draws and four defeats. From a total of eight matches.

Strasbourg have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 8 goals have been scored. As for defending, Strasbourg rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 12 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Nice five wins, one draw and Strasbourg four victories. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), eight games had two or less.
