Strasbourg vs Toulouse prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-03-15 16:15.
[p]The youngest squad by average age in Ligue 1 is maturing at rapid pace, with Strasbourg being beaten just once in their last 12 Ligue 1 matches (W8, D3). A 1-0 win over Nantes last weekend not only made it five matches without defeat (W4, D1), but it was also their fifth successive clean sheet, equalling the club’s all-time record in the top-flight set back in 1984![/p]
[p]As a result, Le Racing have soared up the standings to sit inside the top seven going into the weekend, with European qualification well within their sights. Liam Rosenior’s men face a tough fixture list which includes meetings with four of the six sides to start this round above them, so the manager will certainly hope his attack continues with its ruthless nature, as Strasbourg have converted a league-high 15.3% of their shots into goals this term.[/p]
[p]Visitors Toulouse will sense an opportunity here, as victory would move them to within three points of Strasbourg. The Violets held Monaco to a 1-1 draw last week to extend their unbeaten run to three matches (W2), with their 34-point haul their best tally at this stage of a Ligue 1 season since 2011/12.[/p]
[p]Toulouse last finished in the top half back in 2013/14, and will be confident of doing so again if they can keep up their rampant away form. Back-to-back road victories over Le Havre and Angers – scoring exactly four goals each time – will see Carles MartĂnez Novell’s men travel in confident fashion ahead of this trip to a Strasbourg side they have notoriously struggled against in recent years, winning just one of the last 14 Ligue 1 H2Hs (D4, L9).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Strasbourg’s Emanuel Emegha continues to enjoy the best scoring season of his career, with eight of his 11 goals coming in wins (W7, D2, L1). Vincent Sierro has also been in good form of late, scoring in both of Toulouse’s last two away games, while four of his last seven goals at any venue have come between the 55th and 60th minute.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Toulouse’s Ligue 1 matches this term have averaged a joint-low 2.36 total goals.[/p]
