Lille vs Strasbourg Prediction and Betting Tips | February 12th 2023
Lille will host Strasbourg at the Stade Pierre Mauroy on Sunday in another round of the Ligue 1 campaign.
The home side have had mixed results this season but remain on the hunt for European football. They returned to winning ways in the league last weekend with a 3-1 comeback win over Stade Rennais, with three different players getting on the scoresheet in the second half to overturn an early deficit.
Lille have picked up 38 points from 22 games this season and sit fifth in the league table. They can enter the European spots with a win on Sunday and will be looking to do just that.
Strasbourg have endured a near-abysmal campaign but have now begun picking up points to avoid an impending relegation tussle. They picked up a 2-0 home win over Montpellier in their last league outing, with team top scorer Habib Diallo scoring twice in the first half to take his league tally to 10.
The visitors sit 17th in the league table with 18 points from 22 games and will be hopeful of adding to that tally this weekend.
