Strasbourg vs Lille prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-11-08 16:15.
[p]Following contrasting midweek away results in Europe, two of Ligue 1’s top-four contenders face off on matchday 12 as Strasbourg host Lille.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Strasbourg were 2-1 victors in Sweden in their UEFA Conference League clash against Häcken, and must now improve their form domestically so that a positive start to the campaign is not wasted. Liam Rosenior’s side have won just one of their last four Ligue 1 games (D1, L2) but are still within touching distance of the European spots, and have the opportunity here to record a third consecutive top-flight home win accompanied by a clean sheet for the first time since November 2002. Yet to win a game this season against a side in the top seven ahead of this matchday though (D1, L3), there is work to be done for that to be achieved. [/p]
[p]Lille’s UEFA Europa League trip to Serbia ended in a 1-0 defeat at Red Star Belgrade, but after a run of three victories in their last four domestic outings (L1), they begin the weekend fourth in the league. This is the Mastiffs’ best start to a Ligue 1 season since their 2020/21 title-winning campaign, and boss Bruno GĂ©nĂ©sio now has the chance to chalk up his 150th victory in the division as a coach. Notably though, Lille have lost seven league games on the road already in 2025, including two this season (W2, D1) – already their highest such number of away defeats in a calendar year since 2019.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Strasbourg have won the last two home H2Hs, but had lost four in a row before then, with those two victories being their only successes in the last 15 league meetings between the sides overall (D4, L9).[/p]
