Prediction: 2-1
St Etienne
Following a goalless draw with Monaco, Strasbourg will look to return to winning ways in Ligue 1 when they take on St Etienne on Matchday 31. Le Racing did well to share the spoils with les Rouges et Blancs, but they need to start winning in the season finale if they are to represent France in European competitions next season. Both Habib Diarra and Dion Sahi are out of contention with injuries for the home team.
Les Verts, on the other hand, are brimming with confidence following a 2-1 win over Lyon in the Rhone Derby, but given their difficulties on the road, home win should be considered. It has to be noted that St Etienne have already suffered eleven defeats on the road this season. Defender Yvann Macon is back from suspension, but forward Augustine Boakye remains on the sidelines with injury.
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.
