Match Time & Date:

02:00 PM
Prediction: 1-1
Strasbourg
After holding Olympique Marseille to a goalless draw, Reims suffered an unexpected 1-0 home loss to Toulouse at the weekend. The Stade Auguste Delaune outfit have been having their ups and downs in the French top flight this season and, as a result, they sit in 12th place in the standings. Reims defeated the likes of Monaco and Guingamp in two of their last three home games in the national championship, but Saturday’s football match against Strasbourg will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. Le Racing, on the other hand, did well to hold PSG to a draw on Matchday 16, with the team sharing the spoils with Caen at the weekend. Seeing that they outclassed Rennes 4-1 in their last away game in the league, we predict that the visitors are going to grab something from Saturday’s clash.

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.
