It’s the last weekend in Ligue 1 before the international break in October.

The Stade de la Meinau will serve as the setting for this very important match for the Northerners.
Strasbourg – Lens, a shock with various issues
RC Strasbourg is very confident in the French championship before this seventh day. Eighth in Ligue 1 with 9 points on the clock, the Alsatian club, which has only suffered one defeat (against Lyon 4-3) this season, wants to continue to work wonders. Winners of Olympique de Marseille (1-0), last weekend, Liam Rosenior’s men have two victories, three matches and one defeat at the start of the Ligue 1 season. The Alsatians’ objective is to beat the Lensois to climb the rankings and aim for the top 5 before the break.
Alongside Strasbourg, Racing Club de Lens is still undefeated this season in Ligue 1. Sixth in the French championship before this Northern derby, the club coached by Will Still (10 points) is aiming for the top 4. Since their first two victories for start Ligue 1, the Sang et Or have no longer won a victory. They are on a streak of four draws in a row. A victory for the Lensois would allow them to aim for fourth place in the event of a poor performance from Reims (4e11 points) and Lille (5e10 points).
Before kicking off, this derby promises to be very close given the latest confrontations between the two clubs. Indeed, since January 26, 2008 to date, the two clubs have faced each other 13 times. The Lensois have 5 victories against four for the Alsatians and four draws.
