Strasbourg form and stats

With 0 Ligue 1 wins, 6 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Strasbourg are certainly not brimming with confidence. With eleven home Ligue 1 games in a row without a win, the Strasbourg fans could feel they are not getting value for their money.

In their previous game, the manager Scornet led his Strasbourg to a defeat away at Rennes. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade de la Meinau. Djiku was "man of the match" with a rating of 6.84 out of 10. The defender Djiku won 5 of 6 duels.

Ahead of that match, Strasbourg lost 1-2 at home to Toulouse.

If you like betting on "both teams to score": A review of the 10 most recent league matches reveals that 9 of them had at least one goal from each side.

Strasbourg are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 11 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 20 goals have been conceded.
