Strasbourg Preview: Silky Strasbourg
Coached by former Hull City boss Liam Rosenior, Strasbourg have been brilliant to watch throughout the season with an entertaining style of football and the results have been magnificent since the turn of the year as they chase a top four finish in Ligue 1.
The Alsace-based outfit come into this one on the back of a goalless draw with fellow top four contenders Monaco in the principality of Monaco at Stade Louis II last weekend. The extended the hosts’ unbeaten run of form to ten matches in the French top-flight.
Saint-Etienne Preview: A big win
Saint-Etienne remain firmly in the battle against relegation in Ligue 1 but the Greens earned themselves a vital victory against arch-rivals Olympique Lyonnais at Stade Geoffrey-Guichard in their most recent outing last weekend in a controversial encounter.
ASSE took the lead via in-form striker Leo Stassin before Dennis Appiah had his red card for stamping on Corentin Tolisso rescinded by the VAR. The game was then suspended for 45 minutes due to the linesman being struck by ASSE fans before Stassin won the game.

Strasbourg vs Saint-Etienne Prediction
Strasbourg’s impressive form and generally strong performances throughout this campaign have come as a result of an impressive and front foot style of football under the management of Rosenior. Saint-Etienne have become more proactive themselves since the appointment of Eirik Horneland and ASSE have given themselves a real chance of survival with a more front foot style so, whilst Strasbourg remain firm favourites with their home advantage, it may not straightforward for the Alsace-based outfit.
