Match Prediction: Paris FC vs Strasbourg

Paris FC’s Defensive Considerations

In the current championship season, Paris FC has not kept a clean sheet once, but it cannot be said that the team has catastrophic defensive problems. The only defensive lapse occurred away at Marseille (2-5). Overall, the club usually holds its ground and doesn’t get lost if the game doesn’t go as planned. Stéphane Gilli’s side conceded no more than 1 goal in 7 of their last 10 matches in and Ligue 2. At home in these tournaments, Paris FC has achieved 10 consecutive victories, and in 7 of these 10 successful matches, the team again conceded a maximum of 1 goal.

Strasbourg’s Offensive Limitations

Strasbourg has scored a total of just 5 goals in 4 rounds in the current championship season; only 4 clubs have a worse record. The team scored a maximum of 1 goal in 4 of their last 6 games, and we saw the same modest scoring rate in 6 of Strasbourg’s last 7 away matches in this tournament.

Final Betting Tip

Now, I wouldn’t expect many goals from the Alsatians either. Our prediction is “Strasbourg Individual Total Goals Under 1.5” with odds 1.56.
