The match

A 1-0 slender, but vital, win in the first leg away from home in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round puts RC Strasbourg in a positive frame of mind against Lokomotiv Plovdiv. The French hosts have started their Ligue 1 season with a 1-1 draw over the weekend, making it five wins in seven matches this season (W6, D1, L1) including pre-season friendlies. That includes a 4-2 aggregate win over Maccabi Haifa in the previous round. Strasbourg have a very strong home record in the Europa League, remaining unbeaten in seven matches so far (W3, D4). Six of those seven matches saw them scoring at least two goals, which if scored in this leg will be handy for their progress in the tie. The Bulgarian visitors followed up their loss in the first leg with a 5-2 win in the weekend in their domestic league, ending a winless run of three matches (D1, L2). Lokomotiv came through the previous round on away goals and have won just once in their last seven Europa League fixtures (W1, D1, L5). When it comes to away games in the competition, they are yet to win in four attempts (L4) although they have scored in each of those.

Key Statistics

Strasbourg have kept three clean sheets in their seven Europa League home matches.
Lokomotiv have conceded at least two goals in each of their four Europa League away matches.
Lokomotiv have failed to win six of their last seven Europa League matches (W1, D1, L5).

The bet of our experts

Strasbourg did well to pick up a crucial away goal and a win in the first leg of this tie. It puts the onus on Lokomotic Plovdiv, who have never won on the road in the competition in four attempts. There is no optimism in the visiting camp to see that record changing. This could be an easy win for the hosts and progress to play-offs.
