- Venue: Stade de la Meinau (Strasbourg)
Since Strasbourg came to League 1 in the 2017/18 season, they were mostly in the lower part of the league table, except for the last season when they finished sixth and almost secured Europe. This season, they are once again in the lower part of the league table with only three points away from the relegation zone, four rounds before the end of the season.
Throughout the season, Strasbourg were in and out of the relegation zone. But with three wins in the last four games, they made a huge step forward in securing survival this season.
Nice are trying to secure Europe second season in a row, but with only four rounds to go, they are not in a good position. Since Toulouse won the Cup, they need to reach 5th place, which is almost impossible. Currently, they are in 8th place with 51 points - eight away from the 5th placed Lille.
Despite being in 8th place, Nice have the second-best defensive record with 32 allowed goals in 34 matches. Only the second-placed Lens are better in that category (26 goals).
Strasbourg vs Nice pick: Under 2.5 goals
Two of the last three Strasbourg games finished with fewer than three goals.
Strasbourg struggled defensively this season, but they really stepped up in the recent games and kept a clean sheet in two of the last three games.
Primarily due to a superb defense, Nice were just 13 times over 2.5 goals in 34 rounds. They are tied with Reims for the least games with three or more goals in Ligue 1.
In the last nine games in all competitions, we saw just three matches with more than 2.5 goals.
In the first h2h game this season, we saw a 1:1 draw. Also, we have seen just one game with three or more goals in the last nine h2h games.

Strasbourg team news
Due to poor results, the club sacked Julien Stephan, and Mathieu Le Scornet took over the team as the caretaker manager. Still, he was the head coach only for six matches. On 13th February, the club appointed Frederic Antonetti as the new coach. Under Antonetti, the team averaged 1.55 points per match, while under Stephan, they averaged only 0.65.
Two central defenders will miss the game. Alexander Djiku will serve his suspension, while Gerzino Nyamsi is questionable with an ankle injury. Luckily for Strasbourg, they have good options in the back. Lucas Perrin, Ismael Doukoure, and Maxime Le Marchand will most likely start at the back.
A backup left midfielder/wing-back, Thomas Delaine, could miss the game with an ankle injury.
Two injured backup players will also miss the game: Nordine Kandil and Ibrahima Sissoko.

Nice team news
Nicolas Pepe will miss the game with a knee injury. The 27-year-old is one of the team's best offensive players this season.
Youssouf Ndayishimiye could miss the game with a knee injury. He arrived at Nice during the winter transfer window and became an important part of the rotation.
A backup left winger Sofiane Diop missed the last 12 games with a knee injury and should miss the Strasbourg game too. Joe Bryan, another backup player, will miss the game with an ankle injury. He primarily served as the left full-back backup option.
