Strasbourg will continue to push for a historic Champions League qualification spot as they take on Troyes this weekend in Ligue 1 action.
Strasbourg's stalemate against Lyon allowed Rennes to solidify their status as the third-best team in the division. It is imperative that the men from Alsace keep pace with Rennes and Marseille as Ligue 1 action reaches its climax.
Their rivals will be hoping for anything but a defeat to maintain the gap between the relegation-threatened outfits of the division.
