St Etienne v Strasbourg
Well I stake more on this match than any other today as I believe it has great potential. Strasbourg’s UEFA cup run has now ended after Basle beat them over the 2 legs and now they must hope to survive in the ligue. Victory here against Les Verts would move them just 3 points behind Troyes with 7 games left to play. However I think that is extremely unlikely and that the home team could run riot here. 2 weeks they were incredibly impressive against Nantes as they ripped them apart. The eventual scoreline was only 1-0 but it should have been 4 or 5 really. Strasbourg come here tired after the midweek match and with LOADS of injuries. The overall list is now as big as 11 and most of these players would be in the first XI. They are continuing to fight but defensively they have nobody really. Les Verts also miss a couple of defenders here so it could be an exciting game. But the home team are way better than Strasbourg at the moment and could ease to victory IMO. The visitors will have to play exceptionally well to obtain a result. The danger is 1-1 and it may be worth covering but I expect a convincing Les verts win here. Their price is currently @ 2.08 which is absurdly high - lay into it!!
