"Although Strasbourg might have watched Liam Rosenior leave the Stade de la Meinau for Premier League giants Chelsea last month, Le Racing haven't shown any signs of a hangover. Despite shocking many as they appointed Gary O'Neil on January 7th, the former Wolves boss has certainly made an immediate impact since arriving in Alsace. Extending on their respective Coupe de France adventure earlier in the week and collecting a heavyweight scalp as they stormed their way to a thumping 3-1 victory at home against Monaco,"
"Strasbourg find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. With their sights firmly set on punching another lucrative European ticket in 2026, O'Neil's side have won four of their previous five domestic appearances across all competitions. In fact, despite falling to a close-fought 2-1 loss against reigning Ligue 1 and European champions PSG last weekend, that is the only defeat that Le Racing have suffered over the past two months."
"While Le Havre might open this weekend's fixtures holding a six-point buffer over slipping into the relegation zone, the Dean Club are still firmly look over their shoulder and they are enduring a recent rut. Last seen putting in another toothless performance as they slumped to a 1-0 loss away at Lens, Didier Digard's side will certainly be bracing themselves for another stern examination when they return to Normandy on Sunday afternoon."
A packed European schedule features heavyweight matches across Ligue 1, La Liga and Serie A alongside Manchester City's high-profile trip to Anfield. Strasbourg has surged since appointing Gary O'Neil on January 7, winning four of five domestic matches and securing a 3-1 home victory over Monaco, with only a narrow loss to PSG in recent weeks. Le Havre sit six points clear of relegation danger but have endured a slump, losing 1-0 at Lens and exiting the Coupe de France to Amiens. Several matches present attractive betting opportunities for Sunday wagers.
