Despite facing lower-tier opposition, Gary O’Neil is not expected to make many changes to the side that drew against RC Lens in Ligue 1 on Friday night.
Strasbourg will face Stade de Reims on Tuesday night as they look to advance to the semi-finals of the Coupe de France. Le Racing remain without Emanuel Emegha and Aarón Anselmino. The latter, on loan from Chelsea, continues to struggle with a thigh injury.
There will nonetheless be a couple of changes made. O’Neil can count on more depth with Ben Chilwell, Samuel Amo-Ameyaw and David Datro Fofana all back having missed the game on Friday. Chilwell is expected to return to the line-up, allowing Abdoul Ouattara to play in a more advanced position. Diego Moreira could, therefore, make way, as could Martial Godo, who may be replaced by Sébastien Nanasi on the left.
