Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Strasbourg will be aiming to put an end to their four-game losing run in Ligue 1 when they face Reims on Sunday afternoon. Le Racing do not seem to be at their sharpest, but this match could turn their fortunes around. Talented forward Jeremy Sebas is pushing for a recall to the starting line-up, while the likes of Ismael Doukoure, Caleb Wiley, Emanuel Emegha, Alaa Bellaarouch, Thomas Delaine, and Moise Sahi Dion continue to miss out with injuries.
Les Rouges et Blancs, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to Lens. Considering that Reims will go for a victory in Sunday’s clash as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Last time out Strasbourg defeated Reims 3-1 at Stade de la Meinau. The likes of Mohammed Daramy, Joseph Okumu, Maxime Busi, and Abdoul Kone are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
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.
