Competition: Ligue 1

Market: Strasbourg win

Odds: 1/1 @ BetUS

Seeking an immediate response when they get their Europa Conference League adventure underway on Thursday night, Strasbourg will travel to Slovakia when they meet Slovan Bratislava.

Starting with the hosts, making real history last season as they stormed their way to a record-breaking seventh consecutive domestic crown, Slovan Bratislava have only continued on from where they left off to the summer break. Last seen extended in their stellar start to proceedings as they secured a 2-1 victory away at Trencin, Vladimir Weiss’ men have once again skyrocketed their way to the top of the First League standings. However, despite extending on their Slovak Cup campaign last month as they clinched a rollercoaster 4-2 win against Nadszeg, the Sky Blues know the importance of finding some much-welcomed defensive stability. Watching their respective Europa League qualifying adventure come to screeching end on August 28th as they fell to a 4-2 aggregate defeat against Young Boys, Slovan Bratislava have failed to muster a single clean sheet in their previous eight appearances across all competitions. Likewise, Thursday’s hosts have also conceded at least a pair of strikes in five of their last six outings.

As for the visitors, while Strasbourg might have marked their return from September’s international break with consecutive Ligue 1 victories, Liam Rosenior’s men failed to collected what would have been a heavyweight scalp last time out. Falling to a 2-1 defeat at home against Champions League outfit Marseille, the former Hull City boss will be dreaming of an immediate response here. Getting their iconic Europa Conference League adventure underway on foreign soil, some are billing Le Racing as a potential title dark horse this season. Sat within touching distance of climbing to the top of the Ligue 1 standings, Thursday’s guests should also be excited by their recent success away from the Stade de la Meinau. Making real history over in Denmark on August 28th as they secured a famous 3-2 victory against Brondby, Strasbourg have won three of their first away fixtures across all competitions so far this season. It should also be highlighted, Rosenior’s men have suffered just a single defeat on their travels since the start of February.
