Strasbourg form and stats

The story so far in the Ligue 1 for Strasbourg at their home stadium (Stade de la Meinau) is 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Strasbourg, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The home team returns to Stade de la Meinau after drawing with Rennes (placed 8th) on their last time out; the game ended 1-1. The hometeam coach Scornet made a successful contribution in the game against Rennes, bringing on Mothiba who scored the equalizer in the 1-1 draw. Midfield player Bakwa got a match rating of 7.35 in that game, the max score being 10. Bakwa hit one key pass.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting PSG (0-3).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Strasbourg have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 10 matches with the results: Won 4, drawn 2 and lost 4.

The Strasbourg fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches. 6 goals have been conceded.

Clermont form and stats

The visitors are W1-D1-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Ligue 1.

Clermont might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Nice proved too strong as Clermont slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Stade Gabriel Montpied. Attacker Nicholson got a player rating of 7.11 in the game. "Man of the match" Nicholson dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Olympique Lyonnais with the score of 2-1.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 10 similar matches played by Clermont in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Clermont, 3 draws and 4 defeats.

Clermont are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 5 away goals from 4 games (in the league). Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Clermont have conceded 7 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
