RC Strasbourg Alsace’s season is effectively over. The club placed all of its hope on qualification for Europe next season in the cup competitions. However, Le Racing lost in the semi-finals of the Coupe de France and then, last week, the UEFA Europa Conference League. A draw to SCO Angers mathematically confirmed that RCSA couldn’t catch AS Monaco, either.
With two games remaining, Strasbourg have nothing to play for but pride. Nonetheless, Gary O’Neil will name a strong side when they come up against Stade Brestois on Wednesday night. In recent weeks, O’Neil had been fielding a second-string XI in the league.
There are four major absentees in the form of Aaron Anselmino, Emanuel Emegha, David Datro Fofana, and Joaquín Panichelli.
