Football – France – Ligue 2 Betting Tips

Gazelec have made a solid start to their new French Ligue 2 campaign as they remain unbeaten from their first four league matches of the season, and they will entertain third placed Strasbourg on Friday night at their Stade Ange Casanova.

It’s one of the stand-out fixtures in Ligue 2 on Friday night as fifth placed take on second placed Strasbourg, with Gazelec earning maximum points against Auxerre and Laval (both away from home in 2-1 and 1-0 wins respectively), while at home they’ve taken a point apiece from Brest and Le Havre in 0-0 and 1-1 draws.

And it’s their home form that has been such a stand-out statistic as they’re unbeaten in their last 18 league matches, and they are unbeaten so far this term with a record of  0-2-0  1/1, but confidence is sky-high at the moment as the hosts look to close the gap on current league leaders Brest.

Visitors Strasbourg finished two points clear at the top of the French National league as they secured not only the title but automatic promotion to Ligue 2 along with runners-up Orleans who will also play second-tier football this season.

But despite losing at their Stade de la Meinau ground just once throughout the whole of last season’s National league, their form away from home was far less convincing (and consistent); they finished with an overall away record of  6-6-5  11/10 as goals were a premium for both hosts and visitors alike.

But with just one away win from their last six trips on the road, they might take a little time to adapt to the step up this season, while Gazelec remain resolute on home turf.
