Prediction: 1-0
Nantes
Strasbourg have been having their ups and downs at the start of the new Ligue 1 campaign. Le Racing defeated Bordeaux 2-0 in their opener and following a 1-1 draw with Saint-Etienne, they suffered a 2-0 loss to Olympique Lyon at Groupama Stadium. Strasbourg aim to retain their spot in the top half of the standings and seeing that their rivals Nantes are not regarded as good travelers, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Les Canaris made a very slow start to the season, with the team collecting only one point from possible nine. Nantes were beaten by Dijon in their first away game of the season and, taking everything into account, we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Strasbourg’s party at Stade de la Meinau. Le Racing are eyeing their first win over les Canaris since 2010.

Highlighted Team (Nantes):
Founded on April 21, 1943 Nantes is a professional football club that compete in French Ligue 1. Les Canaris are considered one of the most famous French clubs and they had a lot of success during the sixties and the seventies. Nantes won their first Ligue 1 title in the 1964/1965 season and 36 years later (2000/2001) they clinched their eighth (last) domestic trophy.
Speaking of the club’s European success, les Canaris did well to make it to the Champions League semis in 1996, but Italian giants Juventus proved to be a big catch for the French outfit. Nantes welcome their rivals at La Beaujoire-Louis Fonteneau and the capacity of the stadium is 38.004.
The likes of Vahid Halilhodzic, Adel Selimi, Michel Der Zakarian, Viorel Moldovan, Mario Yepes, Marcel Desailly, Didier Deschamps, Claude Makelele, Christian Karembeu and Dimitri Payet are the notable footballers who played for the club in the past. Nantes are well known for their yellow jerseys and that is the reason why they are nicknamed the Canaries (les Canaris).
