Strasbourg will host Toulouse at the Stade de la Meinau on Sunday (January 29) in Ligue 1.
The hosts have endured a highly underwhelming campaign and look like a shadow of the side that contended for European football last season. They have, however, begun life under new manager Mathieu Le Scornet on a positive note, most recently picking up a 2-1 win at Olympique Lyonnais. Strasbourg are 16th in the league table with 15 points from 19 games.
Meanwhile, after a torrid finish to 2022, Toulouse have performed superbly in the new year and are now pushing for the top half of the standings. They played out a 1-1 draw against Stade Brestois in their last league game before beating Ajaccio 2-0 in the cup last weekend to advance to the last 16 of the Coupe de France.
The visitors are 12th in the Ligue 1 standings with 23 points.
