Strasbourg will be at home on Wednesday to welcome Lille in French Ligue 1 midweek action. The hosts arrive for this round 17 fixture ninth in the standings and trail fourth-placed Lille by eight points. Strasbourg can move up to within three points of the European places with a win here. Patrick Viera’s charges have accumulated 20 points after winning five and drawing another five of their 16 matches. Le Racing haven’t lost in three games and have won in their last two outings. They defeated Lorient 2-1 last time out.

Lille haven’t lost a match in almost three months and bring with them a 15-match unbeaten streak. Eight games in this stretch have been played in the league. Paulo Fonseca’s men, who have won eight times in this unbeaten run, drew 1-1 with league leaders PSG last time out. The point earned moved them to 27 points but they still remain nine points off the pace. A win here could move Les Dogues up to third in the standings. A loss however or even a draw could see them drop out of the European places. Lille have won the last four meetings with Strasbourg and have also not lost to them since 2018.
