Strongholds of French football, Strasbourg and Nantes meet this Friday for an interesting poster to open the 8th day of Ligue 1 (kick-off at 9 p.m.). Eighth, the Alsatian club remains on a frustrating defeat against Lens (0-1) and has the opportunity to catch up to make a small temporary jump in the top 5. For their part, the Canaries suffered the law of Rennes in the western derby (1-3) and are looking to extricate themselves from the soft underbelly.
Pierre Aristouy expects tough opposition in the Meinau atmosphere. “We must first talk about the atmosphere in their stadium, warned the technician. This team has a certain athletic impact, whether in the size of the players, but also in the high-intensity races, the speed and the transition game… I expect a team which, as for several years, performs very well home. Thanks to their game and their audience! We will try to reverse this balance of power. We will have to, first of all, succeed in resisting this athletic pressure and then, then, use the ball well thanks to our profiles which must allow it.” The tone is set.
