Strasbourg hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 6 points and a 19th position in the Ligue 1 table. Visiting Rennes holds 7th place with 18 pts.

Insights:
  • Strasbourg have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored at home.
  • Rennes have scored at least twice as many goals away as Strasbourg have scored home.

Rennes could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Champions League game only three sleeps ago.

Rennes have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Strasbourg form and stats

1-0-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligue 1 numbers at home for Strasbourg so far this season. Game days at Stade de la Meinau have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Strasbourg as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts. Strasbourg has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager T. Laurey and the players.

Strasbourg lost their last game at Montpellier (placed 5th) after a 3-4 scoreline. Before that game, the home loss against Olympique Marseille with the scoreline 0-1.

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
