Strasbourg, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Strasbourg players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Nice. Their share of possession in that meeting was 37%, while racking up 4 shots along the way, 0 of which were on target, in contrast to Nice, who had 16 shots on goal with 6 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Patrick Vieira will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 9 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have had a strong run of form at Stade de la Meinau recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Montpellier, Recent FormThe 1-0 away defeat to Lille will not have sat easily with the Montpellier squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They came away from that fixture with a 40% share of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Lille, who managed 15 attempts on goal, 6 of which were on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 11 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games.
This squad has enjoyed a decent run of league form on the road of late with 4 wins from their last 6 away matches.
Arnaud Nordin will be hoping to create problems for Strasbourg in this one, having scored 5 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Montpellier.
It was not a positive ending for Montpellier last time they met Strasbourg in the league, with the game ending in a 2-0 defeat.
Goals should be on the cards for Strasbourg in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against La Paillade in their last 6 meetings together.
In the league, Strasbourg has a good track record when they host Montpellier, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
Strasbourg manager Patrick Vieira has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Mehdi Chahiri (Illness), Moïse Sahi (Hamstring) and Eduard Sobol (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Montpellier manager Michel Der Zakarian ahead of this clash, with Théo Sainte-Luce (Thigh) missing out, which gives Der Zakarian a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
