It's no vacation for neither Strasbourg nor Montpellier as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Strasbourg form and stats

1 victory, 2 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Strasbourg have to build on here at Stade de la Meinau in the Ligue 1.

In their previous game, the manager T. Laurey led his Strasbourg to a defeat in the Ligue 1 match away at Lille. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade de la Meinau. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Nantes in a game that was won 2-1.

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 eleven matches with the results: Won 8 Drawn 2 Lost 1.

Strasbourg are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 4 attempts. Strasbourg have conceded 6 from these games.

Montpellier form and stats

The Ligue 1 season is young and Montpellier have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 2 draws and 1 defeat so far.

The supporters enjoyed Montpellier's previous game versus Nîmes (placed 12th), a Ligue 1 1-0 win played at home. A 1-1 draw at Olympique Marseille's stadium before that.

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

The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 3 goals have been conceded by Montpellier in these games.

Head 2 Head

Last eight meetings between the teams: Strasbourg won 2, Montpellier won 2 and 4 draws. 2 games with over 2,5 goals, 6 matches with two goals or less.
