Strasbourg form and stats

As mentioned below, Strasbourg are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Ligue 1 games.

The club members are hoping that Strasbourg will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the game against Nice (placed 7th).

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Toulouse in a game that was won 2-0.

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 9 matches with the results: Won 4, drawn 2 and lost 3.

Strasbourg has scored {4 goals} so far and conceded {1 goals} from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Montpellier form and stats

Things could have gone better for Montpellier in their Ligue 1 away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Montpellier, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Lille (placed 6th). Midfield player Savanier was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.75/10. Savanier hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.

A loss against Reims was the result prior to that, in a home game.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Montpellier playing away and similar expectations, we found 8 relevant matches. Results were 3 Montpellier wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

It's early days yet, but Montpellier has scored 4 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - one - six (Strasbourg wins - draws - Montpellier wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.
