Nice - Strasbourg predictions

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Strasbourg may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

The visitors would need to pull off quite a stunt in order to come out victorious. They are severely outmatched in this outing – the 4.72 away win odds alone should speak volumes.

The home draw Nice had to settle for last round is far from ideal, but at least they managed to avoid the defeat they seemed to be heading for. Mistakes in the early game left them trailing behind their opponents Lille for most of the game’s runtime.

Strasbourg surprisingly took the lead in the first half of their previous home game against Monaco. The away team were hard favourites though, and the final result was a harsh 1:3 loss for Strasbourg.

Maintaining their defences has been a bit of a struggle for Strasbourg lately. They ended up conceding 5 goals over the 3 most recent matches alone, leaving many fans disappointed.

With the home-field advantage on their side, Nice should be able to contribute 3 points towards the 1 they need to reach a better table position.

Though it’s hard to say Strasbourg started the season on a strong note, their fairly decent table position is at risk. Beating Nice will be no easy task – but it’s a necessary step if they ever wish to reach the Europa qualifying spots.

The home team has a long and clear history of dominance over Strasbourg. In the previous season, they secured several decisive victories, so it makes sense that the bookmakers labelled them as clear favourites.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.85, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
