RC Strasbourg

Rosenior has imposed a proactive 4-2-3-1 system built on high pressing and rapid transitions. Strasbourg now play with increased possession and attacking intent, often stretching opponents with wide play from wingers like Dilan Bakwa and Moïse Sahi. The midfield double pivot, anchored by Habib Diarra, gives them control and bite in central areas.

• Relentless pressing and tempo disrupt opponents’ buildup
• Danger from set pieces, particularly through tall defenders
• Electric home atmosphere at La Meinau fuels aggressive starts

Strasbourg’s ambition is tempered by defensive frailties and depth concerns. Their high press leaves space behind the midfield, exposing a back line still prone to lapses, especially away from home. OM can exploit these gaps with quick, incisive passing through central areas and by targeting the advanced positioning of Strasbourg’s full-backs. Squad depth is another weakness; injuries to key players like Diarra notably reduce their midfield dynamism. OM’s wingers and set-piece routines should pressure Strasbourg’s vulnerable flanks and defensive organization.
