"Brought in less than a fortnight ago following Liam Rosenior's shock move to Premier League giants Chelsea, Le Racing extended on their Coupe de France adventure last week following a dominant 6-0 romp away at fourth-tier outfit Avranches. With their sights set on booking another lucrative European adventure this season, the former Wolves boss has not seen his new squad suffer a single defeat from any of their previous six appearances across all competitions."
"Only putting 12 points on the board so far this season, Stephane Le Mignan's men sit rock-bottom of the table and are rightfully installed as a landslide relegation candidate this year. Watching their respective Coupe de France adventure come to a thumping end last weekend as they slumped to a 4-0 drumming at home against Montpellier, Sunday's guests will be bracing themselves for another stern examination here."
Strasbourg begin a new era under Gary O'Neil and will host Metz at the Stade de la Meinau. O'Neil has overseen six matches without defeat across all competitions, including a 6-0 Coupe de France win at Avranches. Strasbourg maintain strong home form, losing only once in their last nine matches at the Meinau and competing in the Europa Conference League. Metz return to Ligue 1 but occupy last place with 12 points and are heavy relegation candidates. Metz suffered a 4-0 Coupe de France defeat to Montpellier, lost 3-2 to PSG, and have lost their last four league matches by an aggregate 10-5.
