Strasbourg form and stats

The total Ligue 1 stats at home this season for Strasbourg are 4-6-7 (wins-draws-losses).

A strong away win for Strasbourg against Nantes the last match, as Diallo and Diarra were on target. Diallo, a natural forward, was the highest rated performer for the side in that game, earning a rating of 8.5 (out of 10). Diallo scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 4 of 7 times.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Olympique Lyonnais (1-2).

This is expected to be a close game, with Strasbourg perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Strasbourg as a small favourite), we find 7 games. Strasbourg has won 1 of these, drawn 3 and lost 3.

The Strasbourg fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 22 in 17 matches. On the other hand, Strasbourg have conceded 25 goals.

Nice form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Ligue 1 travels is 7 wins, 6 draws and 4 defeats.

Nice won their last game, 2-1 versus Rennes played at home. Moffi, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.03. Moffi scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Troyes with the score of 1-0.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 5 similar matches played by Nice in our archives, and the results are: 0 wins for Nice, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Nice have scored 21 goals in 17 league games away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. It's not easy to score on Nice as they have only conceded 15 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

Strasbourg have avoided defeat in the last 4 fixtures (2-2-0) facing Nice.

It's not the first time these sides meet on the pitch this campaign, as the history books show this recent game: Nice - Strasbourg 1-1. The matches between these sides sometimes lean towards being hot-tempered, having seen 6 red cards from the last ten encounters.
