Prediction: 1-1
Strasbourg
Lens and Strasbourg go head to head at Stade Bollaert-Delelis in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program. Lens have been playing above expectations in the 2020/21 season, with the team sitting in 8th position in the standings ahead of the visit of Strasbourg. The Yellow-Reds showed character in a 3-2 loss at Lyon, and they are surely capable of matching le Racing at home ground.
Strasbourg, on the other hand, impressed in their first game of the year, with the team rolling over Nimes 5-0 at home ground. Le Racing are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach in the Stade Bollaert-Delelis clash, and given Lens’ attacking potential, both teams to score betting option should be considered. The likes of Mauricio, Medina, and Traore are all sidelined with injuries, while Kamara, Kone, Mothiba, Saadi, and Sels remain in the recovery room for the visiting team.

Founded back in 1906, Strasbourg is a professional football team that compete in French Ligue 1. Le Racing did remarkably well to win the 1979 Ligue 1 trophy and that is considered the biggest success in the history of the club.
