Lille vs Strasbourg Prediction & Betting Tips (25 January)

Eliminated by Lyon 1-2 in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France and beaten in the Championship by Rennes 0-2 and PSG 3-0 recently, Lille is starting the year in the red. The northern club has never lost 3 games in a row this season. Despite everything, LOSC remains in the mix to qualify for the next Champions League campaign. He follows the leading four and sees 3 points separating him from the podium. Lille had the opportunity to relaunch in the Europa League on Thursday, on the pitch of Celta Vigo.

 Strasbourg is having a very good year on the occasion of the first steps of its new coach Gary O'Neil. Arriving to replace Liam Rosenior, the English technician led his team to a first big victory in the Coupe de France, against Avranches N2; 0-6. His players then achieved a major success in the Championship, in the derby which pitted them against Metz 2-1. 7th in the ranking and undefeated over the last 3 days, Racing came back to within 4 units of the top 6. 

Lille received some very bad news at the end of the CAN. Out injured in the final, Moroccan striker Igamane (5 goals in L1) will be sidelined for several months and will not play again this season. The secondary elements Touré, Caillard and Gomes should also remain unavailable while the withdrawals of captain André (midfielder) and winger Sahraoui (potential starter, 1 goal in L1) would be more penalizing for the team. We must also mention the suspension inflicted on the executive Haraldsson (5 goals in L1) and the departure this winter of midfielder Raghouber who was outside of his coach's plans. After having lined up the last 2 Championship matches without scoring, LOSC will rely mainly on Giroud (4 goals in L1) to move forward. All back on their feet, the important scorer Emegha (4 goals in L1), the long-term absentee Oyedele (midfielder) and the replacements Omobamidele (defender) and Amougou (midfielder) should apply for a return to the group.

Executive defender Sarr, just crowned at the CAN with Senegal, is also hoped for by the new coach. Finally, the young winger Yassine, arrived from Dunkirk, could make his big debut. He strengthens an offensive sector dominated by Panichelli (10 goals in L1) and in which Godo (3 goals in L1) and Moreira (2 goals, 3 assists in L1) also know how to excel. The last two have just scored in the derby against Metz.
