Lille vs Strasbourg Prediction: Lille to win at him

Lille welcomes Strasbourg to the Stade Pierre Mauroy and will be hoping to recover from the surprise defeat in the Coupe de France. While Lille is playing to boost their chances to qualify for European competition, Strasbourg is fighting to continue playing in Ligue 1. With a gulf of class between these 2 sides (as depicted in the points difference), we expect the home side to win by a 2 goal margin. 

The win against Rennes give Lille confidence going into this match as they had to come back from a goal down. Another positive feedback for the coach will the fact that the goals are coming from different players across the field. Lille have accrued 38 points from 22 games played this season. 

The home form of Lille has been very instrumental in the team's push for European football next season. Lille have claimed 24 of 33 points available when playing at home. Lille usually plays very strongly in the first half and this has resulted in the tea scoring 13 first-half goals in the 11 home matches played.

Strasbourg started the season very poorly and the then coach, Julian, paid with his job. The sacking of Julian seems to be a good decision as the team was with just 1 win in 17 league games played. When coach Julian was replaced, Strasbourg put in a string of performances and accrued some valuable points. Strasbourg have 18 points from 22 games played.

Away from home, Strasbourg have won 2 of 10 games played and have conceded 19 goals. Away from home, Strasbourg tend to concede more goals in the first half.

Lille is undefeated in 9 matches against Strasbourg while Strasbourg have to have conceded goals in the last eight games played against Lille. Lille have been very solid at home and have only recorded 2 defeats this season at home.
