Strasbourg – Clermont : Preview & Prediction
It’s the biggest surprise of the season in Ligue 1. For many months now, RC Strasbourg has been in the race for Europe. Unfortunately for them, sixth place will not be in Europe, following the defeat of OGC Nice in the French Cup final. The Alsatian club must therefore finish in the top five of Ligue 1. Currently in sixth place in the French league, they are two points behind fifth-placed Stade Rennais. The fight for this position is going to be fierce. In an attempt to put pressure on the Bretons, Julien Stephan’s team is expecting to be at full strength in the last two games. Before a tricky final trip to Marseille, RC Strasbourg host Clermont Foot this Saturday. The club is still one of the best teams in the league in front of its home fans (4th) and will have plenty to do. It’s a good thing that Clermont Foot are at the bottom of the Ligue 1 table, but they are still in the running. The current sixteenth-placed team in the French league is five points clear of the red zone with two games to go.
