The Racers’ last league match, away to FC Lorient, ended in a dull 0-0 draw. Expected goals of 1.3 to 0.4 in favour of Strasbourg indicates they probably deserved more than a point from the match. Le Racing will be getting extra finishing sessions in this week having failed to score despite creating 1.3xG worth of chances.
