Lille - Strasbourg predictions

Punters who are looking for a safe bet should definitely consider this match. The home win odds of 1.60 bring great value considering the fact that Lille are indeed firm favourites to defeat Strasbourg.

The current perspective makes the situation plain as day. Given the superiority of Lille and the 6.39 odds given to Strasbourg to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be a stunning upset.

The hosts failed to earn a lead for more than 45 minutes in their previous Ligue 1 showdown. Top online bookmakers saw them as the most likely winners – and they were playing at home, too. Thankfully, their second-half performance was very strong, eventually leading to a 3:1 victory.

Strasbourg snagged a stunning 3:1 victory against Reims in the last round. The match-up was quite tough for Strasbourg despite the home-field advantage, so the victory is not something most betting predictions saw coming.

Lille are on a bit of a streak when it comes to scoring. With more than 6 over their last 3 matches, fans are feeling fairly confident in their goal-scoring ability. Likewise, bookmakers online are fairly confident the Sunday match will yield Over 4.5 goals.

Though the odds are clearly in the hosts’ favour, the head-to-head history for this Ligue 1 clash tells a different story. Lille lost the last time these two teams met on the pitch, so an upset is definitely possible.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 1.65 odds offer a decent return.
