On Friday night, Strasbourg and Lens go head-to-head at the Stade de la Meinau as both teams look to boost their positions in the Ligue 1.
Strasbourg
Despite sitting sixth place in the Ligue 1 table, Patrick Vieira’s team has struggled for any form of consistency of late in the French top-flight.
A 1-0 win at Metz last time out ended a mini two-game winless league run.
The game produced another low-scoring encounter for the home team, as three of their previous four Ligue 1 games have produced under 2.5 goals.
Strasbourg are unbeaten on home soil in their last five league matches, having recorded three wins and two draws.
One of their recent strengths on home soil has been finding the back of the net, as Strasbourg has scored at least two goals in six of their previous eight league matches on home soil.
Lens
The visitors picked up their first league win of the season last time out by recording a 2-1 victory over Toulouse.
The win came on the back of a woeful start to the Ligue 1 campaign, as they had suffered four defeats and picked up just one draw before the victory.
The victory moved Lens out of the automatic relegation zone and into the relegation play-off spot in the table.
Lens games have at least provided entertainment in their poor spell, as nine of their last 11 Ligue 1 games have produced over 2.5 goals.
Franck Haise’s team have been woeful travellers of late in the French top-flight, having suffered three consecutive away defeats in Ligue 1 while also conceding at least two goals in each loss.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Strasbourg will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to end Lens’ mini-revival.
