While the meetings are linked in January, the LOSC goes to Strasbourg this Saturday as part of the 19th day of Ligue 1 McDonald’s. Everything you need to know is here.
Where and how to follow the meeting?
Anfield was a sweet dream, but it was also cruel with the end of a series of invincibility which will have lasted long months, from mid-September to mid-January. The LOSC will not be more fragile, all the more in Ligue 1, a scene on which its men have not bowed since 14 games and a trip to Saint-Etienne. The latter also have a new status, that of the third thief of the championship. After their victory over the OGC Nice, the DOGUES are on the third step of the podium, a position that will be necessary to keep in Alsace this Saturday (7 p.m.) during their confrontation with the RC Strasbourg. The latest, disputed on the lawn of Decathlon Arena-Stade Pierre Mauroy, had been spectacular with six goals scored (3-3) in 90 minutes.
This meeting, scheduled for this Saturday, January 25 at 7 p.m., will be broadcast on the antennas of DAZN. You can also enjoy a friendly atmosphere at our restaurant / partner pub: At the V2 office located at 21 avenue Avenir au Heron Parc, 59650 Villeneuve d’Ascq. The opportunity to stay very close to Decathlon Arena – Pierre Mauroy stadium.
This next duel will be led by Willy work
(32 years old). The ninth best referee of the 2023-2024 season will be accompanied by his acolytes Erwan Finjean et Philippe Jeanne Along the key lines. Mikaël Lesage will be the fourth referee. It is the same quartet that had directed the shock of mid-December between LOSC and OM. Finally, Benoît Millot et Philippe Lucas will be responsible for video assistance for arbitration. This is the nineteenth outing of Willy Delajod, he who has already crossed the Dogues in Marseille this season. His Lille record is generally positive with 11 successes, 5 draws and only 6 defeats.
History of recent meetings
Launched on a series of invincibility of seven games (5 victories, 2 draws), the RC Strasbourg made a good figure by recording the draw in Marseille (1-1) during its last outing. Proof of its form, only Paris Saint-Germain has accumulated more points than the Alsatian club in the last five days. The latter has only lost two home games in Ligue 1 this season, a report of 4 victories, 3 draws and a defeat.
-This dynamic, which appears so positive, is to be nuanced with the history of the Strasbourg facing the Dogues. Since their rise in Ligue 1 in 2017-2018, they have been defeated on nine times (2 victories, 4 draws) or 60% reverse. Only Paris Saint-Germain, and yes again, managed to watch the Alsatian training more. Defeated during its last appearance at the Meinau, the LOSC must regain its status as a black beast.

Summary of the last meeting
On the move in Alsatian lands on the lawn of the Meinau in Strasbourg, the LOSC and its players were first in a certain comfort, leading from the start thanks to a realization against its Sylla camp (21 ′). Subsequently, they gradually ended up losing the thread, abused by the intensity imposed by their opponents, perpetrators of repeated high recovery. This new physiognomy condemned the Dogues, which conceded the aim of equalization before the break (Emegha 41 ′). They then stayed underwater during the second act. During the latter, they received a second pawn (Mwanga 76 ′) and could even have collapsed definitively without the intervention of the Var and an offside (85 ′), or that of Leny Yoro at the end of the game (90+4 ′). This is how LOSC bowed outside (2-1).
