Strasbourg vs Le Havre Betting Tips: Under 2.5

Strasbourg has been enduring difficult times in the top-flight for a while now, as they, with a 1-1 draw midweek against Brest in the postponed 12th round, stretched a disheartened streak to a whopping eight games without the sweet taste of victory.

Occupying the 15th position, uncomfortably just two points clear of the relegation zone, the Alsatians' deep crisis has been attributed to their toothless attacking line, which has managed to get on the scoresheet the fewest times in Ligue 1 this season (12), excluding the bottom three.

In the ongoing course of the current campaign, Le Racing stands out as a sluggish starter, as hard as it may be to believe, having hit the back of the net only once in the first half, while remarkably, five of their last six goals materialized from the 80th minute or later.

In contrast to the Sunday hosts, Le Havre kicks off Matchday 15 of the French top tier in considerably better form, suffering just one defeat in the past six league outings, and that loss occurred last weekend away to the Ligue 1 rulers, PSG.

Nevertheless, the Normandy outfit didn't disgrace itself; instead, it showed teeth and courage, and according to statistics, they deserved much more than the result on the scoreboard - 0-2 in favor of Parisians - but the positive is that the failure didn't impact their ranking, as they maintained a mid-table position with 16 points.

The assertion that Le Racing currently holds the weakest attacking record among the top 15 teams extends to the Ligue 1 new entrants as well, who have managed to score an equivalent number of goals (12) as their weekend rivals.

Despite finding solace in their defensive performance, registering four shutouts in the past six rounds, all culminating in scoreless draws (0-0), coach Luka Elsner faces a worrisome goal drought on the opposite side of the pitch, with his squad unable to score in seven out of their last eight league fixtures.

With neither team showcasing exceptional sharpness in the attacking third throughout the ongoing campaign, expectations are low for on-field excitement, with the prospect that a lone goal might determine the victor in this Ligue 1 clash. Therefore, we believe that the selection Under 2.5 goals has good value.
