Match Time & Date:

11:00 AM
Prediction: 2-1
Strasbourg
Against all odds, Reims defeated Olympique Marseille 2-0 at Orange Velodrome in the opening match of the season. Les rouges et blancs proved their worth in their opener against the star-studded team and, no doubt, they are high on confidence ahead of the visit of Strasbourg. Reims aim to retain their spot in the top half of the standings and seeing that le Racing often struggle on the travels, home win should be considered.
Korea international Hyun-Jun Suk, who came from the bench to score against Marseille, is likely to be recalled to the starting XI. Strasbourg dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with newcomers Metz and seeing that tired legs could prove to be a big problem for the club that represent France in the Europa League, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home 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.
