Strasbourg and Metz face each other in Ligue 1 18, with Le Racing aiming to continue their strong run of form. As Metz still have some important absences, we predict a 2-1 home win. Key defender Guela Doue returns from suspension for the hosts, bolstering a side that has picked up 1.7 points per game overall and averages 1.6 goals scored while conceding just 0.8. Strasbourg’s home form has been particularly solid, winning 60% of games at Stade de la Meinau and keeping clean sheets in 20% of home matches. Their attack looks lively, with goals in 70% of home games this season.
Les Grenats face challenges with duo Sabaly and Diallo still away on international duty, limiting defensive options. They have been inconsistent, winning 40% of their matches overall, scoring 1.5 goals per game but conceding 1.6, and struggling to keep clean sheets. Their away form is slightly better, but they remain vulnerable against top-half teams. Historically, Strasbourg dominate this fixture with 55% of wins in 11 H2H clashes, and most encounters produce goals, with 73% finishing over 1.5 goals.
Considering Strasbourg's home advantage and splendid form, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 Home Win, with additional value on Over 1.5 goals and Strasbourg Over 1.5.
This Ligue 1 match will be played on Sunday 18 January 2026 at 14:00.
