Strasbourg is the most unambitious team in Ligue 1: in the first 6 rounds they have played 4 draws. In the remaining 2 games the team lost to Auxerre (0:1) and Monaco (1:2), occupying the 18th place. On xG they sit 11th in Ligue 1, so it's hard to call the current state of affairs completely natural. Before the closing of the transfer window the club was not very active: everyone needed the club invited in July. There should be no problem with organization, but the numerous losses in the squad spoil everything. Nordine Kandil, Thomas Delaine, Dimitri Liénard, Lucas Perrin, Gerzino Nyamsi, Ibrahima Sissoko and Karol Fila are currently injured. Sanjin Prcić will not play against Clermont due to disqualification. In addition, in the previous game due to two yellow cards the team's head coach, Julien Stéphane, was suspended, and he will not direct Strasbourg Clermont.
In the last round of Ligue 1, Julien Stephane's charges played an away draw against Brestois 1:1. At the beginning they lacked concentration on defense, and in the 6th minute the opponent took advantage of a rough mistake of the Blue and Whites defender. However, the visitors created a lot of chances and their return goal was quite logical. Even though Strasbourg played ten men for about 60 minutes, they had a chance to take the lead: Kevin Gameiro failed to beat the keeper. But it was not without luck. The team could have conceded a second goal - the Brest player shot at point-blank range, but missed.
Clermont
After the departure of several leaders, Clermont seemed to be the most vulnerable club in Ligue 1, but so far the start of the season as a whole is going well. The Lancers have won 3 of their 6 league games, earned 9 points and sit in 8th place. New Clermont players Komnen Andric and Muhammed Cham literally blossomed in the attack: together they scored 5 goals and made 2 assists. Defender Maximiliano Caufriez has already played his first match for the new club, Mateusz Weteska and Jérémie Bela also got a place in the starting lineup. The good thing is that the team has practically no losses: only Mehdi Zeffan are injured.
The day before, Pascal Gastien's charges took on Toulouse at home and ended up stronger with a 2:0 score. In the 1st half it wasn't easy for Clermont. In one of the episodes, the Lancers were saved by the crossbar and the opponents failed to capitalize on one-on-one situations with the goalkeeper. After the break Clermont played much sharper, several times they ran to the counterattack, there were plenty of chances. Maxime Gonalons and Mohamed Cham scored a goal each. As for the defense, in the 2nd half there were a couple of threats after the set pieces, and once again the goal cage saved them.

Expert Betting Tips
Right now Strasbourg is almost the leader in Ligue 1 in the number of unrealized chances. Even despite the losses in the squad they have no problems in the attack. The team could score two goals against Brestois on the road; it will be even easier to attack at home. Clermont allowed Toulouse a lot and by some miracle kept the goal intact. The Lancers are the worst team in Ligue 1 in terms of xG, there are also many questions to the defense, so it will be difficult to get points again. Personal meetings also speak in favor of the hosts.
