Command Analysis

Strasbourg

Current form
Strasbourg is in tenth place in the championship, but this is a pretty good result, because the team had a very difficult schedule, which almost entirely consisted of matches with teams claiming to get into the top 5. Liam Rosenior charges not only scored ten points, but also scored 16 goals against their opponents. It is on their home field that they manage to show successful results, and so far this season the club has not lost in front of local fans.
Strasbourg is famous for its team play. There is no clear leader in the club. Three players - Nanasi, Emega and Santos - have scored three goals each. If the hosts continue to play in the same spirit, they may fight for a place in the European Cups in the future.
Disqualifications and injuries
Belaarukh, Delane, Wiley, Lukovic, Sahi Dion and Emega will be absent due to injuries.

Nantes

Current form
In the previous league match against Nice, Nantes drew 1-1. This result extended their winless streak in the tournament to five games in a row (three draws and two defeats). Antoine Kombouaré men have problems in the defensive line, as the team has not been able to keep a clean sheet for the sixth match.
After eight rounds played, the team is not even in the top 10 (11th place). In the second ten, it is the only club that has positive statistics of goals scored and conceded: 10-9. Bookmakers do not believe that the guests will be able to resist the upcoming opponent, because the team is a clear underdog.

Duvernay, Sentons and Guirassy are all out with injuries.

- Nantes have failed to win five games in a row
- The visitors have scored in seven games in a row

1.70Tip and bets
In five of the eight matches this season, Nantes have both scored and conceded goals. In turn, Strasbourg has also not remained on the sidelines in seven of the eight matches. Moreover, in five of the seven previous face-to-face meetings, the opponents were able to score. It all comes down to the fact that in this confrontation, after the final whistle, there will be no zeros on the scoreboard.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.81
Bet on the outcome
Bookmakers are confident that the hosts will win the upcoming match. We do not agree with this assumption. The visitors, at the very least, are not playing worse. In the last six away matches, they have lost only once, and that fiasco was from Lyon. We come to the conclusion that there will be no winner in this match, and the teams will again take one point each.
Our prediction is a draw with odds of 3.70
Bet on corners
Judging by the clubs' latest results, it is clear that the game is unlikely to be open, since the opponents are focusing on defensive actions. This means that there will most likely not be many corner kicks in the match.
Our prediction is total under 8.5 corners with odds of 1.62
