Lille - Strasbourg betting tips and odds

Most fans are expecting nothing short of a decisive victory for Lille. Though an upset is not impossible, it’s extremely unlikely that this match will end in anything that’s not a home win.

The current perspective makes the situation crystal clear. Given the superiority of Lille and the 7.00 odds given to Strasbourg to win, it is evident that anything but a home win would be an incredible shock.

Lille’s opponents in the last round, Rennes , seemed to have it in the bag at half time. The betting odds favoured them, they had home-field advantage and were in the lead at the 45-minute mark. Lille overtook them the second half, however, and closed the match with a stunning 1:3 away win.

Strasbourg performed admirably in their previous Ligue 1 match – though their success was not exactly a surprise. They were tagged as favourites – though not by a large margin – and played on home turf, so the odds were stacked against their opponents Montpellier.

Lille’s form is fairly strong when it comes to offense – they netted 6 goals in the last three away games.

Considering the away team’s recent history, it seems they don’t play their best when they’re visitors. The previous 3 times were marked by 5 goals conceded and the negative trend will probably continue.

The 23 games Strasbourg played in their current Ligue 1 campaign left a lot to be desired, but at least they’ve managed to keep themselves out of the relegation zone for now. That said, most betting predictions see a loss at Lille as the most likely outcome.

This is the second time we’re seeing these two sides clash this season. The first game went Lille’s way, albeit with a difference of only one goal. Still, such a record makes it easy to see why they’re the favourites this time around.

Despite being seen as underdogs by most online bookmakers, the visiting team will be able to give their all this Sunday. They have no reported injuries or suspensions going in, so at least they’ll be able to rely on their best players and strategies.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.87 odds offered at Betway.
