Strasbourg form and stats

Strasbourg's struggle is real here at Stade de la Meinau with only 5 points collected from 8 Ligue 1 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-5.

Stress levels are on the rise for Strasbourg's attacking players as they have now played 180 minutes without scoring in a league game. L. Ajorque was their last goal scorer.

No payout for Strasbourg in their previous match, an away game at Paris Saint Germain that ended in defeat 0-4. Before that game, the home loss against Bordeaux with the scoreline 0-2.

Strasbourg were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

The manager T. Laurey will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Lens in only three days.

Strasbourg have scored 6 league goals here from 8 matches, not a lot. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.
