Strasbourg vs. Lille: Match Prediction
Strasbourg's scoring form has improved in recent games. The club has scored in their last four league matches, netting a total of nine goals during this period. However, their defense is not reliable, as Liam Rosenior's side has conceded in 10 of their last 12 matches in this tournament.
Lille also has defensive weaknesses, with opponents scoring against them in 5 of their last 6 Ligue 1 matches. At the same time, Bruno Genesio's side looks more convincing in attack, having scored in 9 of their last 10 games in this tournament. During this period, Lille only failed to score against Auxerre (0-0), who boast one of the best home defenses in the current championship.
It is also worth noting that in their last head-to-head in Ligue 1, the teams played to a 3-3 draw. I expect both sides to be aggressive in attack and exchange goals in the upcoming match. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
