Sunday’s showdown at the Stade de la Meinau is shaping up to be a thrilling encounter between Strasbourg and Lorient. The visitors, are looking ominous, with odds stacked heavily in their favor.

Recent head-to-head results paint a picture of inconsistency. Strasbourg managed to grab a of wins, and draws from six meetings since 2020. However, their latest duel saw Lorient claim a comfortable win - Strasbourg was bested by three goals to one back in February last year.

Strasbourg may come into the game on the back of mixed run. The data hints they could be due for an improved show given their history against Lorient but trends over the last few meetings gives little confidence they can rock the anticipated outcome.

Lorient, on other hand looks a force to be reckoned with given the historical and win probability metrics. Double chance is a touted betting strategy here considering Lorient should edge it but draw remains firmly in the frame.

Projections imply a low scoring contest with Strasbourg at less than a half goal and Lorient edging towards the single tally. With bookmaker odds, Lorient have market faith but Strasbourg face hefty prospects at their home den. Kick off is slated for 16:15 GMT on Sunday afternoon - will the visitors claims the points or can Strasbourg stage an upset?
