Nantes vs Strasbourg Predictions

Gulf in class to show

Take Strasbourg to beat an out-of-form Nantes at Stade de la Beaujoire on Sunday. The hosts have been poor at home, where they have won just two of their last ten league games, while the visitors have won three, drawn four and lost six on the road.

Strasbourg are nine places and 20 points above Nantes in the table. The hosts sit 17th with four wins and 16 defeats, while Strasbourg are eighth, having won ten, drawn seven and lost nine of their 26 games.

Nantes could not break their losing habit last time, going down 1-0 to Angers two weeks ago in their last Ligue 1 outing. Nantes were priced at 23/20 to win the game and will have been frustrated to lose.

It’s proving hard for Nantes to keep opponents out this season, with the hosts failing to keep a clean sheet in 17 of their last 20 league games and conceding an average of 1.77 goals per game at home from 13 games.

Nantes have been disappointing in front of goal at home this season, scoring just 12 goals in 13 home games in Ligue 1 – an average of 0.92 goals per game. They have now gone two straight league games without finding the net.

Strasbourg have only lost one of their last nine Ligue 1 head-to-heads with Nantes.

Nantes are out of form. Ten of their last 12 Ligue 1 matches have ended in defeat and they have failed to win seven of their last eight league games, including their last two.

Backing their opponents during their current run of ten defeats in 12 Ligue 1 games would have resulted in a profit of 7.84 units.

Four of Nantes’ last five Ligue 1 matches have ended with under 2.5 goals and a 2-0 away win for Strasbourg looks a decent correct-score option.
