Bookmaker Ratings prediction one – X2 and Total Goals under 3.5 – 1.93
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two – Both teams to score – Yes – 1.92
We think that the visitors, as they are just one step away from Champions League football, will be going all out for the win, as they have been on a good run of points in the last 11 fixtures, and they will face Lille, a team that are winless in last four games.
If we compare the current forms of the sides, Strasbourg are expected to win the match, but drawing is always an option for both teams. Therefore, we will back combo bet of an away team double chance or win and total goals under 3.5 over goals.
Both sides have scored at least one goal in their last 3 fixtures in Ligue 1. We expect to see open game, and both teams will exchange goals.
The current champions of Ligue 1 Lille find themselves in an unfamiliar position this season. Les Dogues are almost certain to finish outside the European places for the first time since 2017/18.
The hosts come into this match on the back of a 1-2 defeat against Reims in their last Ligue 1 fixtures, extending their winless streak to four games. However, there is still a chance to catch the Europa Conference League spot, but Lille have to win at least three or four of the five remaining fixtures.

On the other hand, Strasbourg are on course for their highest French top division finish since being crowned champions way back in 1978/79.
Le Racing are enjoying an eleven-match unbeaten run in the Ligue 1. Notably, that is the best current unbeaten run among the French top-tier teams. In effect, head coach Julien Stéphan will hope this impressive form can allow Strasbourg to finish in a UEFA Champions League spot.
With Champions League group stage qualification now more than a pipe dream, Strasbourg players will be hoping to end a run of four straight away league draws by picking up their first victory at Stade Pierre Mauroy since 2007.
