Strasbourg take on the visitors Troyes in the round 17 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Monday, January 2nd at Stade de la Meinau (Strasbourg).
Strasbourg completely failed the start of the new season. "Le Racing" was able to rise very quickly after the virtual bankruptcy and the fall to the de facto amateur level. The team not only returned to Ligue 1 (this happened already in 2017), but also managed to win a trophy, even if it was only a modest League Cup. Yes, and the last draw ended with a decent, 6th place. And then suddenly - falling to the bottom! During the autumn period, which consisted of 15 matches, there was only 1 win and 11 points. And after a long break there was a meeting with PSG. And there they gave battle to the grandee, losing only because of a penalty goal in the 90th minute. To get out of the relegation zone, they need to win 1-2 matches, everything is very tight in the 2nd part of the table, the hardest fight for survival will soon begin. “Strasbourg” should not participate in it, Stefan's men are likely to take somewhere 10-12th place in the championship. The team's top scorer is Diallo, an African who plays for the team and experienced Gameiro, who is positioned close to his Strasbourg teammate.

Troyes sets rather modest goals. ESTAC are allegedly owned by the City Football Group, the UAE investors that control Manchester City. But it is on the “citizens” that all the forces, attention and opportunities go. And the French “branch” played 3 years in a row in Ligue 2 until 2021. Returning to the elite division, the team took exactly 1 point per game on average, 38 to 38 - this was enough to take the “saving” 15- e place. Now the results are about the same: there are few points, but enough not to fall into the relegation zone. So it turned out to end the year with a new point, playing 0-0 with Nantes on the home field in Troyes.
Last season, when the sides crossed paths after a pause in Ligue 1, they drew in both meetings. Moreover, the score was identical, 1-1. Strasbourg will be the favorite for this fight, but will they really have the strength to win? We recommend stopping at the offer with "total less than 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
