Strasbourg
Le Havre and Strasbourg square off against each other at Stade Oceane in what is expected to be a close Ligue 1 encounter. Le Havre suffered a dip in form, losing to both Angers and Nice in the last two league matches and they face yet another tough challenge against Le Racing. All Emmanuel Sabbi, Issa Soumare, Josue Casimir, Yann Kitala, Arouna Sangante, and Andy Logbo are out of contention with injuries for the home team.
Le Racing, on the other hand, have suffered four defeats in the previous five league matches. As both Strasbourg and Le Havre are eager to return to winning ways in the French top flight, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. The likes of Abakar Sylla, Caleb Wiley, Alaa Bellaarouch, and Moise Sahi Dion are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side.
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.
