Sharing the spoils for the 15th time in 2023 - more than any other team in the French top flight - Lille have successfully juggled their domestic and European commitments to cement a fourth-placed standing in the table, good enough for a Champions League qualifying berth as they lead Brest on goal difference. Not since a 2-1 home reverse at the hands of Reims in late September have Paulo Fonseca's men lost a top-flight match - going without defeat in their last 10 and only conceding three goals in the process - but victory on Wednesday would be just their fifth on the road in Ligue 1 in 2023. Success on Strasbourg soil has been customary for Lille in recent times, though, as they have beaten Les Coureurs in seven of their last eight battles - including four on the trot at the Stade de la Meinau - and have not lost to their hosts in the top flight since August 2017.
Strasbourg Ligue 1 form: Lille Ligue 1 form: Lille form (all competitions): Advert - content below: Team News Vieira's Strasbourg departed the Stade du Moustoir at the weekend with another trio of injury concerns to deal with, as left-back Thomas Delaine went off in the first half before Abakar Sylla was forced to call it a day not long after the restart. The hosting manager has confirmed that both Delaine (ankle) and Sylla (concussion) will not be available for Wednesday's game, while substitute Lebo Mothiba was stretchered off deep into added time, by which point Strasbourg had already used up all five of their substitutions.
A Lille side aiming to preserve their own golden streak have every intention of playing the role of party poopers, though, as a last-gasp intervention from Jonathan David stretched Les Dogues' unbeaten run to 15 matches in all competitions when the champions came to town. Boasting five successive clean sheets heading into Sunday's intriguing battle, Lille's defensive resolve was ultimately broken when Kylian Mbappe netted from the penalty spot, but with four minutes of added time on the clock, David was in the right place at the right time to nod home after a saved Adam Ounas strike fell kindly for him.
