In this week 2 match on Aug 14th, Nice will play host to Strasbourg in a clash of these two mismatched Ligue 1 teams. 9th placed Nice is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Toulouse. Thijs Dallinga struck first for Toulouse in the 20th minute, then Aaron Ramsey got the equalizer for Nice in the 78th minute on a feed from Bilal Brahimi squeezing out at least the one point for Nice. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Strasbourg recorded a 1-2 loss against Monaco. Krépin Diatta struck first for Monaco in the 43rd minute on a feed from Axel Disasi, then Sofiane Diop added another in the 53rd minute. Strasbourg looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 1 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season Strasbourg won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw.
Adrien Thomasson and Habib Diallo are the top scorers for Strasbourg in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Nice hasn’t been successful in netting any goals lately. Their top scorers in the last five matches are Calvin Stengs and Aaron Ramsey, and they each have 1 goal
Lucien Favre’s Nice squad will be without Kasper Dolberg and Flavius Daniliuc, while Strasbourg will be without Dion Moise Sahi and Mouhamadou Diarra.
