Strasbourg – Le Mans

Strasbourg host a struggling Le Mans in what promises to be a pivotal clash for both sides. Sitting sixth with seven points from two wins, a draw and a loss, the home side have a narrow +1 goal difference (9‑8) and will be keen to extend their recent run of victories. Le Mans, languishing fourteenth with just three points after three draws and a defeat, sit on a –1 goal margin (7‑8) and will need to turn their unbeaten streak into a win to climb out of the relegation zone. The two teams have met only sparingly in recent seasons, but Strasbourg’s superior record and home advantage suggest they enter the match as clear favourites.
