Local rival Lens was beaten at home by Lille 1-0 thanks to a goal from the penalty spot in the 44th minute by in-form striker Jonathan David. Despite only having eight points to their record, Strasbourg’s victory allowed them to move up to the 14th spot in the rankings.
Last weekend’s loss to Marseille was expected, but it nevertheless infuriated the Lille squad because they have yet to win back-to-back league games this year. Only three clubs in the division have scored more goals than Lille thus far this season, but the hosts head into the match against the visitors having let up 15 goals overall.

VENUE: Stade de la Meinau, Strasbourg, France
Strasbourg vs Lille Prediction
Considering that Les Bleu et Blanc have only scored four goals in their last five home games, they have the third-worst offensive record in the league and might struggle here. Concerningly, they haven’t defeated the guests in Ligue 1 since 2017, which is also a losing streak.
Les Dogues’ inconsistent play in the league thus far is seen by the 18 goals they have scored and allowed this season. Every win in their previous eight games has been preceded by a loss, and they have achieved clear outcomes.
They have, however, put in strong performances against the hosts in recent matches, and they will probably accept a draw in this one.
