Strasbourg look to extend their unbeaten run when they take on struggling Nice on Saturday afternoon.
The hosts return to Stade de la Meinau after an excellent away win at Nantes before the international break, while Nice aim to bounce back from a painful home defeat against PSG.
Past encounters have been evenly matched, but recent form suggests the advantage should lie with the home side this weekend.

Strasbourg and Nice have met on 11 occasions since 2020. Nice won four games, while Strasbourg picked up three victories. Both of their last two meetings finished as score draws.
Strasbourg team overview
Strasbourg maintained their solid recent form with a fine 3:2 win at Nantes two weeks ago. Top scorer Joaquin Panichelli stepped off the bench to bag his 20th and 21st goals of the season as Racing Club twice fought back from behind to claim an impressive road victory.
Sadly, the 23-year-old forward suffered a serious ACL injury while training with the Argentine national side for the first time last week.
Tough-to-beat since the turn of the year, Strasbourg are unbeaten in their last nine games (W4, D5) while they have lost only two of 20 games played since mid-December.
An inability to keep clean sheets has hindered the progress of Gary O'Neil’s side. As a consequence, all but three of their last 18 matches finished with both teams on the scoresheet.
BTTS has been particularly frequent at this venue. Nine of Strasbourg`s last ten games at Stade de la Meinau also saw both teams on the scoresheet.
Head coach O'Neil is unable to call on top scorer Panichelli after his serious ACL injury picked up in Argentina. Junior Mwanga, Diego Moreira, Aaron Anselmino and Emmanuel Emegha are also ruled out through injury.
Ben Chilwell is a doubt due to a hamstring issue.

Nice team overview
Nice return to Ligue 1 business looking for big improvements after a 4:0 thrashing at the hands of PSG before the international break. Youssouf Ndayishimiye saw red as Nice capitulated in the second half with three goals conceded handing the Parisiens an easy victory at Allianz Riviera.
Claude Puel’s side remain in relegation trouble afer a poor run of form which has seen them lose four and win just one of seven Ligue 1 games since the start of February. OGC remains 15th in the division, but just five points clear of Auxerre who picked up a valuable win last time out.
Recent results against Strasbourg will give the visitors some optimism this weekend. Nice are unbeaten in five previous matches against the home side (W3, D2) since 2023. Each of their four most recent encounters also saw both teams on the scoresheet.
Head coach Puel has several absentees this weekend. Moise Bombito, Kojo Peprah Oppong, Ali Abdi, Isak Jansson and Mohamed Abdelmonem are all ruled out through injury. Youssouf Ndayishimiye is suspended after his dismissal against PSG.

Prediction
Goals can usually be relied upon when Strasbourg are involved, and another high-scoring outcome should be on the cards this weekend.
BTTS is my preferred pick from Stade de la Meinau.
Three Reasons Why We Expect BTTS
- Strasbourg have seen BTTS in 15 of their last 18 matches
- Strasbourg have seen BTTS in 9 of their last 10 home matches
- Nice have seen BTTS in their last 4 matches against Strasbourg
