The Racing Club of Strasbourg can approach the end of the day with serenity before the duel between Marseille and Brest this Sunday evening. The Alsatian club is sure to finish in 7th place at the end of the 31st day of Ligue 1, thanks to a solid dynamic and a mathematical advantage that allows it to place itself in a favorable position for the last straight line of the championship. The heavy defeat of Lens (0-4) against Auxerre this weekend left the Lensois at nine points in the Racing, with only three more days to play. This scenario combined with a goal change largely in favour of Strasbourg (+13 versus -2 for Lens) allows Liam Rosenior’s club to be almost assured of ending its season in TOP 8, regardless of the outcome of the other matches.

7th place could even become an almost certain goal if Brest loses against Marseille. However, this will depend on the outcome of the Coupe de France, where Paris Saint-Germain will have to win in the final against Reims to ensure that this position is synonymous with qualification in Europe. With a remarkable track this season, Strasbourg confirms its strong and ambitious team status. The reception of the PSG at the Meinau next week promises to be a crucial meeting, both for the race in the European squares and to continue demonstrating the strength of the Alsatian collective. A thrilling end of season is set for the Racing fans, ready to vibrate for their team.
