Strasbourg vs Nantes Prediction & Betting tips
Nantes will be given the opportunity on Friday evening to temporarily take the lead in the away match against this season’s RC Strasbourg. Will the Christian Gourcuff team succeed too?
RC Strasbourg:
With three points from the first five games and elimination in the preliminary rounds of the Europa League, the season start of RC Strasbourg is anything but flawless. Nevertheless, the moderate start of the season does not seem to be a reason for major concerns in Strasbourg, as trainer Thierry Laurey consciously chose to save his most important players for qualifying for the Europa League in the first league games. Now that the team has failed to qualify for the Europa League group stage, the team can focus fully on the Ligue 1.
Last weekend on a visit to Paris, Le Racing seemed to be on its way to a small stunt against PSG by keeping the zero until injury time, but the outstanding goalkeeper Matz Sels had to watch Neymar Jr. in the injury time. passed him in a wonderful way. Due to the second defeat of the season, le Racing can now be found in 18th place, but Sels is not to blame for that low ranking. The Belgian goalkeeper already had 34 goal attempts this season and managed to rescue in no less than 82% of the cases.
Nantes:
With only one point from the first two rounds of play, Nantes did not start the new season well, but with three wins in the last three games, the team has now worked its way up to a shared second place. After victories over Amiens and Montpellier, Stade Reims was also beaten last weekend by a hit from Kalifa Coulibaly. With five goals in the first five games, the line of attack by the Christian Gourcuff team is not exactly effective yet, but given the defensive performance of his team – only one goal in the last four games – it is not necessary at all.
The solid defensive performance of les Canaris this season is partly due to a positional change made by Gourcuff. The Brazilian Andrei Girotto started the season as a defensive midfielder, but now forms the central defense duo together with Nicolas Pallois. The Brazilian did not admit to Stade Reims on the defensive and Girotto was also the driving force behind the build-up of his team with not only the most passes of all players on the field, but also the highest percentage of successful passes.
