Ligue 1: We're previewing an entertaining and very important fight starring Strasbourg and Brest at Stade de la Meinau. Both need the points!

Insights:
  • Strasbourg have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Brest have the fewest points from losing position (1) in Ligue 1

These teams have little in common geographically as Brest have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Strasbourg form and stats

Strasbourg's results here at Stade de la Meinau in the Ligue 1 have been very modest with 2 victories, 6 draws and 5 defeats. When Strasbourg hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Auxerre, Montpellier, Troyes, Angers SCO, Ajaccio and Strasbourg), they have won 2 of 3 matches! Strasbourg has recorded two wins in a row here at Stade de la Meinau, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

Strasbourg travelled for their previous game, a trip to Clermont that ended 1-1. Midfield player Guilbert got a match rating of 7.42 in that game, the max score being 10. Guilbert hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

Ahead of that match, Strasbourg won a home game hosting Angers SCO (2-1).

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 17 games) they have won 9 times, drawn 4 and lost 4.

Take note that 11 of the most recent 14 league matches from this club have had goals from both teams.

The Strasbourg fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 13 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 21 goals have been conceded.
