Strasbourg enters this round motivated after a 2-3 away win at Angers: Gameiro, Blazic (against) and Diallo scored the goals in this excellent victory. The home team usually plays in a 5-3-2 tactical system, favoring a more offensive style of play, attacking mostly through the central corridor. In this scheme, the two most advanced men should be Kévin Gameiro and Habib Diallo. In the central part of the field, the home team should use an offensive midfielder and two defensive midfielders: Jean Ricner Bellegarde, Sanjin Prcic and Ibrahima Sissoko. For this game, coach Julien Stéphan should be quite happy to have all the players at his disposal.
After 5 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses, the visiting team is in the 8th position, having earned 13 points. In their last match, they beat Lens at home by (1-0), after having lost away in a match against Lorient in the previous match by (2-1). This is a team that curiously has been stronger away than at home, as in the last 30 games it records 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses as a visitor; against 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses in its stadium. In the last 5 away games in the championship Lille registers 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats, having won 7 points out of a possible 15. The team has allowed goals to the opponent in 9 of the last 10 games, so it has not shown great defensive solidity, but its attack has scored with great regularity, as it has always scored at least one goal in the last 10 games in this competition. In 10 games in this competition, it has only managed 1 turnover in the scoreboard in the 4 games in which it conceded the first goal. There is 1 outstanding period in the last 6 matches played as a visitor for all competitions: it has conceded 3 of its 7 goals between the minutes (16′-30′).
Lille come into this match motivated after a 1-0 home win in the reception of Lens: Jonathan David, in the 44′ minute, through a penalty, scored what would be the only goal of the match. The visiting club usually plays in a 4-3-3 tactical system, favoring a more offensive style of play, attacking through the side corridors. Lille is a team that chooses to use a possession style of play, advancing up the field through short passes, and they usually use the central corridor to invest in the offensive sector. It should be noted that the three most advanced men are Adam Ounas, Jonathan Bamba and Jonathan David. For this game the coach Paulo Fonseca should have all players at his disposal.
