Strasbourg - Nantes predictions

With the 1.80 being what they are, we don’t expect anything other than a home win. Pulling off anything else would be a gargantuan task for Nantes, so we’d stay away unless you’re looking for a long shot on purpose.

Nantes are massive underdogs and will be extremely lucky to avoid complete annihilation at the hands of Strasbourg.

The previous round of the Ligue 1 saw Strasbourg secure a rather straightforward victory. Playing as the away team in a matchup with Metz, they broke the tie with a goal in the second half, securing the 0:1 victory.

Nantes played a home game in the previous round, with Paris Saint Germain visiting as the overwhelming favourites. The game predictably ended with an away win, but it’s worth noting that Nantes put up a relatively decent fight by maintaining a tie well into the second half.

The betting odds are clearly in the hosts’ favour, and the last time they clashed with Nantes things went their way. In fact, they snagged a decisive victory with an advantage of more than two goals.

Sunday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

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 1.83 odds offer a decent return.
