Strasbourg Preview: Silky Strasbourg
Strasbourg, with former Hull City coach Liam Rosenior at the helm, play what is an exciting and entertaining style of football that has produced 81 goals in their 28 games so far this season as they now move towards qualification for the UEFA Champions League.
It has been a magnificent second-half to the campaign for the Alsace-based side and that continued last weekend as they defeated Stade de Reims by a goal to nil at Stade Auguste-Delaune II courtesy of a fourth minute strike from Ismael Doukoure.
Nice Preview: Strong Nice
Franck Haise’s Nice are one of the sides, alongside the likes of Olympique Lyonnais and Lille, to have been the victims of Strasbourg’s rapid rise in recent months and they have now been knocked out of the top five, albeit sit just two points behind their upcoming opponents in fourth.
The southerners had been in extremely impressive form up until mid-way through last month but the visitors’ 2-1 defeat at home to Nantes at the Allianz Riviera last weekend now means they have collected just one point from their last four matches.

Strasbourg vs Nice Prediction
Strasbourg have been magnificent in the last few months. They have suffered just one defeat in their last 15 matches in their most recent outing and they have now enjoyed five successive Ligue 1 victories ahead of this weekend, too. They now face a Nice side that, as mentioned, are trending in the opposite direction but they will fancy themselves of being able to get themselves a goal at an open and attacking Strasbourg side so both teams scoring should be a good bet for this one.
