Ligue 1 action continues this week, with Strasbourg hosting Bordeaux on Wednesday in the 16th game week of the French top-flight.
Strasbourg played out a 1-1 away draw against Monaco in their last game. Wissam Ben Yedder gave the hosts the lead from the penalty spot late in the first half. Ludovic Ajorque then drew his side level after the restart from the penalty spot.
Strasbourg sit eighth in the Ligue 1 standings with 20 points from 15 games. They have drawn their last three games and will be looking to return to winning ways on Wednesday.
Bordeaux were beaten 2-1 on home turf by Brest in their last game. Sunday's loss marked a third winless game for the visitors. They have won just one of their last nine games in the league and need to begin picking up points.
Bordeaux currently sit 16th in the league table with just 13 points. They are level on points with Clermont in the relegation playoff spot and are a point above rock-bottom in the league.
