Strasbourg will entertain Lyon at the Stade de la Meinau in Ligue 1 on Friday.
The hosts have bounced back well from back-to-back defeats earlier this month, recording two wins in a row. In their previous outing, a first-half brace from Habib Diallo helped them record a 2-0 away win over Reims. Two wins in a row have helped them climb to 15th place in the league table.
The visitors saw their seven-game unbeaten run in the league come to an end on Sunday as they fell to a 2-1 defeat at home to Marseille.
In-form striker Alexandre Lacazette equalized in the second half after Cengiz Under opened the scoring in the first half. Malo Gusto's own goal in the dying moments of the game condemned them to their 10th loss of the season.
