Against ESTAC, RC Strasbourg is naturally the favorite given the ranking and the dynamics of the two teams, but everything remains to be done at the start of the weekend. The Trojans had indeed hooked the Strasbourg during the first leg, and this could happen again. However, the RCSA is playing in a different court this season, and one number in particular proves it right now.

On the side of Strasbourg, the series of matches that Julien Stéphan’s men are about to face could decide the outcome of this season in its entirety. The Alsatian club will have to do better than the performance of the first leg, and this could give rise to an end to the season in apotheosis according to the next results of the team. At the heart of an impressive series of 9 games without any defeat, the Strasbourg players could go and get the place of AC Milan this weekend on a European level.

The pass of 10?

Before this weekend of European competition, RC Strasbourg achieves a historic performance. In effect, Julien Stéphan’s team ranks 5th among the best running unbeaten streaks across Europe. With 9 games to their credit, the Strasbourg players are just behind Milan (10), AS Roma (11), Liverpool (12), and FC Barcelona (15). This Friday evening, the Milanese will be opposed to Genoa in Serie A. In the event of defeat for the partners of Olivier Giroud, a good result from the Strasbourgeois would allow them to rise to 4th in this very specific ranking.

Even if AC Milan were to win, the RCSA has at its side the best teams in Europe in many respects, and can boast of being among the benchmarks in terms of dynamics. Rennes have certainly scored more points in recent weeks, but Strasbourg can be proud of such consistency. The series is just waiting to be extended.
