Match Preview

Five places and three points separate the teams in today’s Strasbourg vs Troyes preview, and the away team could conceivably leapfrog their hosts in the Ligue 1 standings with a win at the Stade de la Meinau this weekend. Both clubs are right in the relegation mix at present, though the opportunity to pull away from danger is there if they can grab it.

Le Racing have lost five of their last six Ligue 1 contests ahead of today’s preview and their abhorrent displays are worth considering before making any Strasbourg vs Troyes betting tips. The most worrying aspect of those defeats for Coach Thierry Laurey would have been his team’s failure to score in four of them. Strasbourg’s top scorer in Ligue 1 this season, Nuno Da Costa has just four goals to his name this season, which further emphasises their problems in the final third.

Troyes have slipped down to the second bottom in the table after losing seven of their last nine Ligue 1 matches since late November. The real root of their problems has been their inability to secure points away from home and Jean-Luis Garcia has watched his players toil to seven straight losses on the road, the latest of which was away at fellow relegation strugglers Toulouse.

Strasbourg vs Troyes Prediction and Betting Advice

We are tipping the home team to win in the opening part of our Strasbourg vs Troyes bets for several reasons. Firstly, the away team’s performances on the road this season have been atrocious. L'ESTAC haven’t won an away league match since their September 23^rd victory at bottom club Metz.

More recently, they have suffered seven defeats on the trot, leaving Caen, Dijon, PSG, Monaco, Marseille, Angers and Toulouse with no points and little in the way of any positivity to cling to. Garcia’s strugglers scored just five times during that winless run and his team now have the second worst away record in the entire division.

Five defeats from their last six means that Le Racing head into the weekend in poor shape too, though they have shown a little life at the Stade de la Meinau at least. Laurey’s men have won three of their last five Ligue 1 ties in front of their own fans and they have lost just two in nine there overall. The best Ligue 1 football odds for the home win are located at Unibet, whose value and offers make them the standout choice of bookmaker.

During our research, we found a startling statistic that had a huge influence over the second of this week’s Strasbourg vs Troyes predictions. The clubs examined for today’s preview have scored one goal or less in thirty-one of their combined forty-seven Ligue 1 fixtures in 2017/18.

The French top flight has been quite a low scoring competition, in general, this season and bar the stronger teams at the table’s summit, there has been little goalmouth action to enjoy for most fans. Le Racing are actually the 9^th highest scorers in the league this term, despite only averaging 1.16 goals per game.

Their opponents this Sunday have averaged just 0.9 goals per contest and are the fourth lowest scorers in Ligue 1 this season. Racing have failed to score in four of their last five league outings, while Troyes have only found the net three times in their last five attempts. The data is pretty telling and we should expect few goals at the Stade de la Meinau this weekend. Betfair’s odds for that outcome are well worth taking a look at. The value they offer for the under 2.5 goal market is hard to beat.
