Strasbourg v Nice: top-half push meets survival fight | OneFootball

Strasbourg host Nice in Ligue 1 at the Stade de la Meinau on Saturday, 4 April 2026, with the hosts targeting a top half finish and the visitors looking to put more daylight between themselves and the relegation battle.

Strasbourg sit eighth on 40 points and Nice are 15th with 27. The reverse fixture finished 1-1 in January.

Le Racing arrive unbeaten in five across competitions, including a 3-2 win at Nantes and draws with Paris FC and Lens. Les Aiglons have lost three of their past four league games, though they did win at Angers and progressed on penalties away to Lorient in the cup after a 0-0.

Joaquín Panichelli, the league's leading scorer with 16 goals (per the season ranking), is injured for Le Racing, along with Benjamin Chilwell, Diego Moreira and Abdoul Ouattara. Les Aiglons are without Tanguy Ndombele and Isak Jansson, Youssouf Ndayishimiye is suspended, and Moïse Bombito plus Everton Pereira da Silva are sidelined.

Le Racing's season profile points to controlled possession and supply from wide areas, 53% of the ball, 88.20% passing accuracy and steady open-play crossing, with Guéla Doué (five assists) and Valentín Barco (four) looking to feed Martial Godo (seven league goals) and David Datro Fofana. Les Aiglons have conceded 52 goals with only four clean sheets, but Sofiane Diop's seven league goals and Jonathan Clauss's six assists offer a counter threat.

A win would take Le Racing to 43 points and could nudge them closer to the European places. Three points for Les Aiglons would lift them to 30 and may move them further away from the relegation play-off zone.
