Strasbourg
Sunday’s football game at Stade Gabriel Montpied pits together Clermont and Strasbourg, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Clermont aim to build on a 2-1 win over Nantes and a triumph over Strasbourg should see them escape the relegation zone. Maximiliano Caufriez is back from suspension, while all Mory Diaw, Alidu Seidu, and Jeremie Bela are on international duty.
Le Racing, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, with the team winning three of their last four league matches, while holding Marseille to a draw at Stade Velodrome. Clermont want this win more than Strasbourg, but given Le Racing’s fine form, the share of spoils is on the cards at “Gabriel Montpied”. As for the away team, Saidou Sow is on international duty, while both Jeremy Sebas and Lebo Mothiba remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Highlighted Team (Strasbourg):
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. Strasbourg won Coupe de France on three occasions (1951, 1966, 2001) and they have three Coupe de la Ligue trophies as well (1964, 1997, 2005). Strasbourg’s main rivals are Metz and the two teams face each other in the Derby de l’Est (The Eastern derby).
Le Racing recorded their biggest victory over Valenciennes (10-0) in the 1937-1938 season, whilst they suffered their biggest loss to Limoges (0-8) in the 1959/1960 season. Paraguayan goalkeeper Jose Luis Chilavert, who is well known for his free-kick abilities, played for the club from 2000 to 2003, but he failed to score in a league match during his spell with the Stade de la Meinau outfit. Speaking of Stade de la Meinau, Strasbourg’s home ground was opened back in 1914 and the capacity of the venue is 29,320.
