Strasbourg vs Lille Prediction 25 January 2025

🔊 Can Lille get back on the winning track immediately after their setback at Anfield? In the 19th round of Ligue 1, the "dogs" will visit Strasbourg, whose last defeat dates back to the end of November 2024. On paper, the teams' chances in the head-to-head clash are considered equal. However, our editorial team has already analyzed all the pros and cons and has come up with a final prediction.

📊 H2H

In head-to-head matches, Lille has surged far ahead, winning seven out of the last ten games. Meanwhile, Strasbourg managed to secure only one victory over the "dogs." In the first round of the championship, the teams produced a goal fest, ending in a 3-3 draw, and in three out of the last five games, they scored at least three goals combined. So we suggest betting on Total goals over 2.5.

⚪ Strasbourg

Strasbourg showed a very commendable performance at the "Velodrome," drawing with one of the Ligue 1 leaders. The match against Marseille ended in a 1-1 draw and marked the seventh consecutive game in which the team remained undefeated. The team's consistency in attacking actions is impressive, as Strasbourg managed to score in nine out of the last ten matches and rarely settled for just one goal.

Even a significant list of injured players does not hinder the club from achieving such good results. Currently, there are five players: goalkeeper Bellaarouch, defenders Delaine and Wahi, as well as forwards Bakwa and Dion.

🔴 Lille

Every streak eventually comes to its logical end. Lille suffered their first defeat in several months, losing to Liverpool (1-2) in the Champions League group stage. However, in Ligue 1, the "dogs" remain unbeaten for 14 rounds, allowing them to climb into the top three of the tournament. The team has the second-best record for goals conceded (17), with only the league leader PSG conceding one goal less.

On a less positive note for the club, there are several key players in the infirmary. Lille currently cannot rely on defenders Santos and Umtiti, midfielders Bentaleb and Gomes, as well as forwards Fernandez Pardo and Zhegrova.

⚽️ Goal Prediction

Although Lille doesn't concede much, they have rarely kept a clean sheet lately: in nine of their last 11 matches, the team exchanged goals with their opponents. The same applies to nine out of Strasbourg's last ten games. Therefore, it's worth betting on Both teams to score: yes.

🚩 Corner Prediction

Lille recently had a streak of six consecutive wins by this measure, which was interrupted in a match against a tough opponent like Marseille. Strasbourg, on the other hand, lost three consecutive games on corners, averaging only 3.3 corners per match. Therefore, our editorial team advises betting on Lille to win on corners.

📝 Match Prediction

Strasbourg is very good this season and should not be underestimated. They managed four wins and three draws in their last seven matches. Lille is suffering from a large number of injuries, which is gradually leading to unnecessary point losses. We predict that the upcoming encounter might end with a 2-1 victory for Strasbourg.

The main trend in matches involving both teams has been the consistent presence of both scored and conceded goals. Statistics stubbornly show that in the vast majority of encounters, both Lille and Strasbourg exchange goals with their opponents. Therefore, we believe that the key bet should be Both teams to score: yes.
