The Racing Club in Strasbourg is entering a crucial period with three matches that could give it the opportunity to qualify for European competitions. If 7th place is already acquired thanks to a broadly favourable goal against Lens, the European qualification remains suspended by an external factor. This position only guarantees a European place if Paris Saint-Germain wins the final of the Coupe de France against Reims on May 24, a week after the last day of the championship. The wait may be long, but there is a simpler and more satisfactory solution: finish in TOP 6. The challenge begins this Saturday at the Meinau against the PSG. The club of the capital, already sacred champion of France, has nothing to play in Ligue 1, but after their recent home defeat against Nice, the Parisians will seek to preserve their invincibility outside. Strasbourgers will have to be vigilant against a formidable opponent, even if he is not fully focused on the championship. The continuation of this European quest will lead Racing to Angers, 15th in the standings. With only two points ahead of Le Havre (bar operator) and three over Saint-Étienne (first relegable), the Angiovins will probably play their survival in Ligue 1, according to the result of the match between Nantes and Angers. Strasbourg will have to be wary of a team fighting for the maintenance, in a context where each point will be vital for their opponents. Finally, the Strasbourgs will conclude their season at home in front of Le Havre, in an atmosphere that promises to be electric. The Le Havarais, who are also in search of support, will come to seek their salvation, making this ultimate confrontation all but a formality. For Racing fans, Europe has never been closer. Three finals, nine points to go for, and a collective dream that could become reality. This is the time for Strasbourg to give everything it has, to prove its worth and to secure this coveted European place.
