French Ligue 1
2025-04-12 - Strasbourg vs Nice
A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : France: Ligue 1
Venue: Stade de la Meinau
Saturday 12th April 2025, 2005hrs
Strasbourg continued their impressive winning momentum in the French top flight with a 1-0 win away from home at Reims last weekend which in turn made it seven wins within their last eight matches overall for Saturday night’s hosts as they prepare to welcome Nice to the Stade de la Meinau.
Even more impressive is the fact that Strasbourg have racked up no fewer than six clean sheets within their previous eight games overall, while the bigger picture shows the hosts have slipped to just the one defeat from their last 15 matches overall in the domestic top flight.
Within this solid sequence of results, Strasbourg have collected no fewer than 11 victories along with three draws, so Liam Rosenior’s side are expected to be tough to beat once again on Saturday night.
By contrast, Nice’s winless run in Ligue 1 was extended to four games last weekend after being handed a disappointing 2-1 defeat at home by lower half outfit Nantes at their Allianz Riviera and having suffered three defeats within their last four games overall, Nice look to have their work cut out here this Saturday night.
Recent losses to the likes of Lyon, Monaco and the aforementioned Nantes may well spell danger for the upcoming visitors, especially as two of these three defeats were against teams currently occupying places in the top five of the Ligue 1 table.
In addition, Nice have produced inconsistent results overall on their travels in this season’s Ligue 1 campaign as their away record stands at 5-4-5 23/21.
The Betting Verdict
Strasbourg’s impressive momentum in recent weeks should see the hosts over the line here and they can be backed with an attractively priced handicap.
The Pick :
Strasbourg 1-0 Nice
