Strasbourg, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-1 away win over Lorient in their last league game, Strasbourg will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 9 hitting the target, up against Lorient's tally of 6 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Patrick Vieira will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 6 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Strasbourg will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Strasbourg, Emanuel Emegha will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Lille, Recent FormLille will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Paris Saint-Germain, which ran out a 1-1 draw. In that game they had 41% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Paris Saint-Germain who had 10 attempts and 2 on target.
They have taken just a small number of points from their past 6 matches, and while they have only let in 2 goals, it has been their unpredictable form in front of goal that has been their issue, with 6 goals netted in those 6 matches. When playing away from home, they have scored in 4 of their last 6 games and are on a run of 3 consecutive clean sheets.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 10 games in a row.
With 3 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Lille, Bafodé Diakité will be looking to add more goals against Strasbourg in this match.
The 2-0 victory which Lille recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
During the last 3 times these two teams have met in the league, Strasbourg have been unable to break through Les Dogues' defence and find the back of the net. Les Dogues will be confident of finding the net in this one against Strasbourg, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 9 encounters between the two sides. When Lille are away to Le Racing in the league, they know how to find the net, with 8 goals in their last 3 meetings and an average of 2.67 per game. Le Racing have struggled to break down the Lille defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
Lille has had a good run of league results away from home against Strasbourg, winning their last 4 meetings at Stade de la Meinau and being unbeaten in their last 5.
Lille player Jonathan David will be looking to cause Strasbourg some problems having scored 4 goals in the last 3 league meetings between the teams at Stade de la Meinau.
Strasbourg manager Patrick Vieira has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Maxime Bastian (Muscle), Ismaël Doukouré (Sprained ankle), Karol Fila (Cruciate ligament) and Gerzino Nyamsi (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Lille manager Paulo Fonseca ahead of this clash, with Tiago Djaló (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives Fonseca a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
