Prediction: 2-1
Strasbourg
Buoyed by a 3-0 win over Olympique Marseille, Auxerre will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Strasbourg on Sunday afternoon. Auxerre are on the right track to secure the Ligue 1 survival, but boss Christophe Pelissier must warn his men against complacency. Bearing any fresh injury worries, the 59-year-old tactician is unlikely to make changes to the team that outplayed OM at the weekend.
Le Racing, on the other hand, aim to move closer to the Conference League berth, but given Auxerre’s excellent performance against Marseille, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from this match. Midfielder Andrey Santos is back from suspension, while there are no fresh injury concerns in the away team ahead of the trip to Burgundy. Both Thomas Delaine and Dion Sahi continue to miss out 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.
