Strasbourg form and stats

Strasbourg have played 8 Ligue 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-2-2 (wins-draws-losses). With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Strasbourg.

Strasbourg shared the glory with Monaco in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. The forward Ludovic Ajorque won the honour of being "man of the match" for Strasbourg with a rating of 7.71/10. Ajorque scored one goal.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Reims.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Strasbourg matches with similar probabilities have ended with three wins, two draws and one defeat (from six games).

Strasbourg are traveling soon after this match as the Ligue 1 match at Nice awaits in four days.

Goals decide football matches and Strasbourg are scoring many of them at home; 18 on target from 8 league matches. It's worth mentioning that 10 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Strasbourg have conceded 8 goals.

Bordeaux form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Bordeaux so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-2 (win-draw-lose). Two points from the last two away games for Bordeaux, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

Bordeaux might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Brest proved too strong as Bordeaux slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stade Matmut-Atlantique. Junior Onana got a match rating of 7.93 in that game, top player of the team. Onana hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 76 successful passes (of 83 total).

Preceding that game, the 3-3 draw paying a visit to Metz.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Bordeaux playing away, we found one game. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and one home win.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Olympique Lyonnais in just four days.

Bordeaux are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 11 times in 7 away games so far. The Bordeaux manager V. Petković has some worries about the defense as 17 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Strasbourg won six games, one match ended in a draw and Bordeaux have three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / six
