Strasbourg vs Bordeaux Prediction & Tips
Strasbourg’s inconsistent record might look unsurprising to some (G5, E5, P5), although it really represents a six-point improvement over their record at this point last season. Ambitions to secure a spot in European competitions could be somewhat premature, although registering a fifth Ligue 1 commitment without losing this time – for the first time since April 2019 – will not hurt his aspirations.
He will seek to achieve this feat against Bordeaux, a team he has beaten in five of the last six official meetings between the two teams (P1). The two away games last season saw Strasbourg concede exactly two goals, although having conceded more than one goal just twice in their last ten Ligue 1 matches, the Strasbourg side will be confident they can avoid that fate in This time.
After a very poor campaign so far (G2, E7, P6), only one point separates Bordeaux from the last place in the standings. Hence, there is no doubt why club president Gérard López called the attitude of the players “unacceptable” after the home loss to Brest (2-1) last weekend. That was the fourth consecutive Ligue 1 match in which “Les Girondins” have conceded two or more goals.
With this in mind, it will come as no surprise to mention that Bordeaux have the worst defensive record in the division (32 goals conceded). The 15 minutes before half-time appears to be the period in which the visitor is particularly vulnerable, with 34% of their “goals against” in this league campaign being recorded in that period so far.
Players to watch: Habib Diallo has proven to be a threat late in the first half recently, as the Strasbourg player scored his last three league goals in the ten minutes before half-time. Alberth Elis continues to prove his worth with three goals in his last five Ligue 1 appearances, although Bordeaux failed to win in any of those commitments (E2, P1).
Highlight: Strasbourg have won 70% of their league points playing at home this season.
