THE PREDICTION
This is a match between two sides firmly ensconced in the relegation battle and both sides are at risk of falling into the relegation playoffs. The current 18th placed side, Nantes, are on 40 points and these two are on 41 so if Nantes were to win then at least one of these two will be overtaken. Strasbourg’s victory last weekend at Nice ended a run of five without a win whilst Lorient defeated Metz to make it three wins in their last four matches. The visitors come into this on the back of 18 of their last 21 matches finishing with both teams scoring; similarly, prior to their 2-0 win last week, Strasbourg’s seven matches before that had finished with both teams scoring. Therefore, both sides will be confident of notching and both need to.
