Strasbourg – Stade Brestois 29

Strasbourg host Stade Brestois 29 in what promises to be a tightly contested Ligue 1 clash, with the home side perched just two points above their visitors in sixth place. Strasbourg have collected seven points from four games – two wins, a draw and a loss – and sit on a slim 9‑8 goal advantage, while Brest sit seventh with five points, having recorded one win, two draws and a defeat and a balanced 6‑6 goal tally. Both teams will be keen to tighten the gap in the table, and the narrow margin between sixth and seventh suggests a battle that could swing either way.
