Nantes (W)
- 4th-placed Nantes (W), who have accumulated 21 points from 10 matches so far, have a good chance of extending their four-match winning streak against 7th-placed Strasbourg (W) who have only 10 points on the board.
- Nantes’ recent win against Marseille was a 3-0 home win with the Canaries’ players not looking as though they will be flying south any time soon.
- However, Nantes are a highly organised team who are very tough to beat if manager Nicolas Chabot gets the tactics right - as he has since July 2023.
- Chabot’s team are a possession-based side that like to line up in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation with a compact block that can be switched to more of a defensive block when under pressure.
- They play a methodical game with a patient build-up, where every player knows their role, regardless of which system is in operation.
- Nantes (W) have an impressive home record in Division 1 Women 2025/2026 (W4, L1) and should have too much quality in the final third with 2.20 goals scored and 1.00 conceded.
Strasbourg (W)
- Strasbourg (W) have won one, drawn two and lost two of their five Division 1 Women 2025/2026 away matches (W1, D2, L2).
- Strasbourg (W) enter this game with mixed form (W2, D1, L2) and are winless in their last away match and recently suffered a 0-3 home defeat to Fleury Merogis U.S.
Head-to-Head
Nantes (W) have won one and drawn one of their two prior meetings with Strasbourg (W) since the start of the 2025/2026 campaign (W1, D1) .
Key Players
- The Canaries can call on the goalscoring prowess of Lucie Calba, who has scored six goals in nine Division 1 Women 2025/2026 appearances - that’s more than any other player for them.
- Ines Konan has five goals in ten Division 1 Women 2025/2026 games and looks to be Strasbourg (W)’s best bet up front at the moment, so she will be the focal point for the visitors in this clash of styles.
- Lea Khelifi has scored three goals in the last five games for Nantes (W) and her goalscoring form should make it an eventful 90 minutes if Strasbourg (W) can keep it tight in the first half.
Betting Insights
- Nantes (W) are 2.23 favorites to win this clash with Strasbourg (W) 2.85 and the draw 3.1, which are all overpriced in our opinion.
- The Over 2.5 goals option looks worth a bet at 1.88 if you’re expecting an open game.
