Strasbourg vs Nantes Predictions: It’s All in the Hands of Strasbourg

Strasbourg and Nantes were both losers in the last round and in this match they face each other in a bid to get back to winning ways once again. Strasbourg and Nantes have lost 3 matches already this season and that is a poor record for any team, so early in the season. They are only 2 points apart on the table. Strasbourg are in 8th spot with 10 points, while Nantes are in 13th with 8 points. 

Strasbourg

Strasbourg have not been any better in the new season and they are in for a difficult season if they keep up this momentum. In their opening 7 games of the season, they have 3 wins, 3 defeats and 1 draw. Their most recent game against RC Lens ended in a defeat. They conceded an early goal with Elye Wahi scoring the only goal in the 16th minute to send Strasbourg home in a defeat.

Strasbourg will be looking to bounce back against Nantes in this match. They are familiar with Nantes as they remain unbeaten against them in their last 3 meetings against each other. Strasbourg won the most recent meeting by 2 goals to nil, back in May this year. Habib Diallo and Habib Diara were both the goalscorers in that game.

Streaks

• Less than 2.5 goals in 4/5 games.
• Less than 4.5 cards in 8/10 games.

Nantes

Nantes were totally disappointed with their performances in their defeat to Stade Rennes last weekend. In their opening 7 games of the season, they have now had 3 defeats, 2 wins and 2 draws. They are fully aware they must do better in the coming games if they must remain in the league.

Nantes lost 3-1 to Rennes away from home in their last game. Pedro Chirivella managed to equalize from the spot in the 45th minute after the team had conceded a goal in the 6th minute. Nantes came into the second half and conceded 2 more goals before the final whistle.

Nantes have struggled to defeat today’s opposition in their previous games. The last time Nantes beat Strasbourg in a competitive match was back in 2021. Their most recent meeting in May ended in a 2-0 defeat with Nantes playing at home in that game.

Streaks

• Both teams scored in 4/5 games.
• Less than 4.5 cards in 8/10 games.
• Less than 10.5 corners in 4/5 games.

Analysis and Prediction

Strasbourg and Nantes have been inconsistent so far this season and I don't see any serious difference between both sides. But Nantes have not beaten Strasbourg at the Stade de la Meinau since 2021. Nantes can only play for a draw here rather than expect a victory. It’s all in the hands of Strasbourg here.
