Strasbourg vs. Lille: Match Prediction
This match features opponents who are vying for a spot in the Champions League zone by season's end. Both teams have shown inconsistency, particularly in away games. Therefore, I favor Strasbourg, who will be playing at home. In the last two head-to-head meetings at Stade de la Meinau in Ligue 1, the hosts won 2-1.
Additionally, Liam Rosenior's side has been strong at home this calendar year. In their last 16 home league matches, they have suffered only 2 defeats, securing 11 wins and 3 draws. Meanwhile, Lille has only 5 wins in their last 17 away Ligue 1 matches, with 3 of those victories coming against teams fighting for survival (5 draws and 7 losses).
My prediction: Strasbourg with a handicap (0)
