In the match of the 26th round of the French championship Strasbourg will play at home with Toulouse. Both teams are struggling on the approach to the European Cup zone. Toulouse is less successful in this. It sits in tenth place, ahead of Auxerre on two points, behind the same number of points from Brest. And Strasbourg is six points ahead, sitting in seventh position. It is trying to impose a struggle on more status and big-name opponents two points behind Lyon, four points behind Lille. So there are still chances to break into the European Cup zone, which will be a great achievement for Strasbourg.

And his form is pretty good right now. Strasbourg does not lose for five consecutive matches, won four of them. Last round away he was stronger than Nantes (1:0), before that he coped with Auxerre (1:0) and drew with Brest (0:0). It seems that the team is quite closed, but in every match Strasbourg creates a lot of dangerous moments. It has managed to establish a solid game in defence, and it has not conceded for five matches in a row. However, Toulouse is capable of opening up this defence.

Toulouse has a very good selection of players in attack. Last round it drew with Monaco (1:1), previously defeated Angers (4:0) and Le Havre (4:1). Of the last six rounds, Toulouse lost only in one. And that was the match against PSG (0:1). So this team also has a good stretch, good form. Note that in the first round Strasbourg away defeated Toulouse with a score of 2:1.
