In the middle of his first three Ligue 1 matches, RC Strasbourg competes in the Dams of the Conference League and his opponent qualified Thursday evening by winning 4-0 to 10 against 11!

The Racing Club of Strasbourg Alsace is in full swing and not only because of the derby against FC Metz, Sunday in Saint-Symphorien (5:15 p.m.), at the opening of the Ligue 1 season. The training of Liam Rosenior, arrival 7th in Ligue 1 last May, goes into the league conference league and must eliminate Brondby in order to play the third European competition (six games instead of Eight in the Champions League and Europa League).

Brondby arrives at the Meinau next Thursday (9 p.m.) for the first leg and will be worn by an incredible comeback during his 3rd conference qualifying round. The Danish training, 3rd of its last championship, lost 3-0 in Iceland, against Vikingur Reykjavik, and managed to win 4-0 Thursday evening, despite a red card received in the 18th minute, in its lair of Brondby Stadion (29,000 seats).

Nicolai Vallys and Filip Bundgaard scored a double each, but the Brondby If is mainly led by two former Ligue 1: the Dutch environment Stijn Spierings, passed by Toulouse and Lens, and the veteran Daniel Wass, 36, who left Evian TG 10 years ago (before evolving in Celta de Vigo and Valence).

Return match in Denmark for Strasbourg

Strasbourg will receive FC Nantes in stride, before taking the direction of west of Copenhagen. The RCSA was one of the heads of the drawing of the dams but was not guaranteed to receive the second round. The calendar is particularly in charge of Emmanuel Emegha and his teammates, since they will then go to Monaco on behalf of the third day of L1.

All the conference teams come from the dams. Crystal Palace (permanently relegated from the Europa League) to face Norwegians from Fredrikstad, Fiorentina Les Ukraininens by Polissya Zhytomyr, Rayo Vallecano The Belarusses of Neman Grodno and Mainz Norwegians from Rosenborg.
