Strasbourg vs Lens Prediction & Betting Tips (6 October)

Strasbourg has had a rather good start to the season with 9 points taken in 6 matches. A total allowing him to rank 8th. After draws against promoted Angevin 1-1 and LOSC 3-3, RCSA managed to surprise Olympique de Marseille last Sunday at home, by the smallest of margins 1-0. Going for a fourth match without defeat will be the objective of the day for the Alsatian team before the international break. Racing has signed a draw and 2 wins at home since the start of this 2024-2025 financial year.

Lens, 6th in Ligue 1 after the first 6 days, is one of the three teams still undefeated in Ligue 1 with the Parisian leader and Monaco . The Sang et Or started with 2 successes but then followed up with 4 consecutive draws against serious opponents: Monaco away 1-1, Lyon at home 0-0, Rennes in Brittany 1-1 then Nice in a new match without a goal at the Bollaert stadium 0-0. A potential success would allow Will Still's players to get closer to the podium. 

On the Strasbourg side, secondary goalkeeper Bellaarouch and striker not yet used Sahi Dion are injured and therefore forfeit again. Serbian striker Lukovic, young full-back Wiley and the more experienced Delaine in the same position were recently absent and are uncertain. Racing can count on several prolific elements in the offensive sector. Andrey Santons, Emegha and Nanasi have each scored 3 goals since the start of the Ligue 1 season. However, it was Moreira who delivered Strasbourg ahead of OM. The RCL, for its part, presents itself at Meinau without its striker Satriano, who has had little playing time.

The Uruguayan has just injured his cruciate ligaments in one knee and will only claim a return at the end of the season. The player belonging to Inter Milan is added to the list of absentees which includes the defensive rock Danso (heart problem), the corridor player Cabot, the midfielders El Aynaoui and Ojediran and the replacement goalkeeper Koffi. We must add to all these beautiful people out of the picture the important midfielder Zaroury and the young attacker Labeau Lascary, suspended. Usually valuable up front, Thomasson, who faces his former club, and Sotoca have not yet scored this season despite significant playing time.
