Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Strasbourg
Dijon and Strasbourg square off against each other at Stade Gaston Gerard in the Ligue 1 round 21. The Owls are undefeated in 2021, with the team playing out goalless draws with both Reims and Marseille. Dijon are eager to escape the relegation zone in the Ligue 1 standings, and we predict that they will go all guns blazing at Strasbourg on Matchday 21. The likes of Assale, Benzia, and Chala have all been struggling with injuries of late.
Le Racing, on the other hand, made a slow start to the season, but they seem to be at the top of their game ahead of the trip to Dijon. Strasbourg are on a three-game winning run in the French top flight, but beating Dijon on the road is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the horizon, and we are tempted to put our money on draw. The likes of Kamara, Mothiba, Sels, and Simakan are all sidelined 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.
