After falling to a defeat at the weekend, a struggling Auxerre seemingly serve as a perfect opponent for Strasbourg as they bid to bounce back.
Match News and Current Form
A gut-wrenching last-gasp 2-1 defeat to Lyon on Sunday capped off a pretty dismal ten-day period for Strasbourg in which they failed to win any of their three games (D2, L1). Honing in on just their Ligue 1 form doesn’t make for much better reading (W1, D1, L2), with Liam Rosenior’s side leading in each of the three games in which they have slipped up. Le Racing will hope a return to Stade de la Meinau can inspire a return to form, given they’ve largely impressed there this season in the league (W3, L1), and with just two defeats from the last 15 Ligue 1 fixtures they hosted (W10, D3), solid home form has long since played a huge part in Strasbourg’s success.
Auxerre have slumped into the Ligue 1 relegation zone after seeing their winless league run stretch to four games (D1, L3) over the weekend. A 1-0 home defeat to fellow-strugglers Le Havre on Sunday thrust under-fire manager Christophe Pélissier further into the limelight, and he may even need a victory here to keep his job given his side have their lowest points tally after nine Ligue 1 fixtures since the turn of the century. Securing one point from an available 12 on the road this season (D1, L3) makes for bleak reading, while a run of five successive defeats in Wednesday-held Ligue 1 games cements why they’re heavy outsiders here.
Head-to-Head History
Strasbourg’s record against Auxerre ought to give them an extra boost ahead kick-off, as they have won five of the last six H2Hs (L1), netting at least twice in four of the victories.

Betting Analysis
