Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Toulouse will be aiming to build on a thrilling 3-0 win over Clermont when they take on Strasbourg in the Ligue 1 round 28. Les Pitchouns are safe for now, with the team sitting in the 11th place in the standings, but boss Carles Martinez Novell must warn his men against complacency. The 39-year-old tactician should have a full squad to choose from.
Le Racing, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Nantes and Rennes. Strasbourg, though, are level on points with Strasbourg ahead of the round 28 clash and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. The likes of Ibrahima Sissoko, Angelo Gabriel, Moise Sahi Dion, and Lebo Mothiba are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side, while fit-again midfielder Jeremy Sebas is pushing for a rare start after scoring as a substitute against les Rouges et Noirs.
Highlighted Team (Toulouse):
Toulouse are a professional football club that compete in Ligue 1. Les Pitchouns are well known for their purple jerseys with white stripes and it has to be noted that they used to wear red and yellow jerseys in the past. Toulouse welcome their opponents at Stadium Municipal and the capacity of the team’s home ground is 33.150. Stadium Municipal was used as a venue for the 1998 FIFA World Cup.
In 1982 the club secured promotion to the Ligue 1 for the first time ever and you should bear in mind that the likes of Jacques Santini and Daniel Jeandupeux were part of the team. A win over Napoli in the round 1 of the 1986/1987 UEFA Cup is considered one of the club’s biggest success as football legend Diego Maradona played for the Italian team back then, attacker Daniel Jeandupeux scored the winner for Toulouse in the penalty shoot-out. Bordeaux are regarded as the club’s fiercest rivals and the two teams face each other in Derby de la Garonne.
