Team News

Strasbourg
Lille
  • RC Strasbourg prepares to host Lille OSC at the Stade de la Meinau, buoyed by a five-match unbeaten run in Ligue 1, with three wins and two draws. This impressive streak has helped them climb the league standings, thanks to a combination of solid defensive displays and sharp attacking performances, notably against Marseille last week.
  • With no major injury concerns reported, Liam Rosenior has a full squad to choose from except for Edyard Sobol, who is suspended as they look to maintain their momentum and make the most of their home advantage against a strong Lille side.
  • Lille travels to Strasbourg on Saturday looking to bounce back after Liverpool snapped their impressive 21-match unbeaten streak across all competitions in midweek.
  • Lille have been in fine form domestically, with their last Ligue 1 outing resulting in a 2-1 victory over Nice. They will be without key forward Jonathan David and defender Alexsandro, who are both suspended for this match.
  • Despite these absences, Lille’s strong league form and the depth of its squad will be tested as it aims to regain momentum and secure another crucial three points.

Prediction

  • Lille comes into this fixture off the back of a taxing midweek Champions League tie against Liverpool, which ended their remarkable 21-match unbeaten run across all competitions. The physical and emotional toll of such a game, combined with the demands of travelling, leaves Bruno Génésio’s side facing an uphill battle.
  • To complicate matters, Lille will be without two key players. Jonathan David, their leading scorer with 11 goals this season, and dependable defender Alexsandro are both suspended for this encounter. Their absences force Lille to reshuffle, placing additional pressure on players like Mohamed Bayo and Rémy Cabella to step up in attack and on their defensive unit to remain organised against a dangerous Strasbourg side.
  • Strasbourg, by contrast, are in excellent form, enjoying a five-match unbeaten run in Ligue 1. Their resurgence has been built on solid defensive displays and sharp attacking combinations, making the Stade de la Meinau a fortress once again. Few teams have managed to leave this ground with a result, and Strasbourg will be keen to extend their strong home form.
  • With Lille likely feeling the effects of their midweek exertions and missing key personnel, Strasbourg have an opportunity to seize the initiative. However, Lille's squad's quality and depth mean they remain dangerous even under difficult circumstances.

  • BTTS

  • Lille have got must win game next week in CL. They have a huge challenge tonight against a side raised from the ashes. I think the deal breaker here could be how long can David play tonight. Strasbourg win/draw - 1.60 or BTTS - 1.67

  • Home win. Strasbourg has been in excellent form recently.
