On Sunday (August 11th), Strasbourg and Metz will fight 3 points at La Meinau Stadium as part of the first week of France Ligue 1.
Strasbourg:
Strasbourg, which started the 2019/2020 season with the UEFA Europa League Qualifiers, won the first match 3-1 against Maccabi Hiafa directly in the 2nd Qualifying Round and rose to the next round despite being defeated in the rematch. The last match against Plovdiv last week, the team, led by Thierry Laurey won 1-0 away. On the Strasbourg front, Ajorque Ludovic proved to be one of the team’s most important weapons with his goals and football. The host who left behind 3 matches in the European adventure gave positive signals before the league marathon. Strasbourg, who started the season early, turns this advantage in favor of the first match.
Metz :
Metz returned to France Ligue 1. France Ligue 2 last year, the team struggled, reached the championship at the end of 38 weeks and rose directly to the league. Under the leadership of Frederic Antonetti, the team ended the season with only 5 defeats and did not seek adventure and did not change the technique with the right decision. Metz, who will start the challenging French Ligue 1 adventure at the Strasbourg displacement, is the place to say that he suffered from the shortage of budget during the transfer period. In the team that tries to strengthen the team with the right moves, it will take time for new transfers to adapt to the team. I think that the guest team will have much difficulty in removing points from the field in the first weeks.
Strasbourg, which started the season earlier than its competitors and reassured with the football it exhibited on the European stage, stretches to 3 points this week, turning both the home advantage and the advantages of early season opening.
PREDICTION: Strasbourg to win @ 2,05
