Meeting statistics

Current form and & playstyle: Racing Club de Strasbourg

Coming into this fixture, Strasbourg appear to be riding a wave of decent form. In their last outing, they secured a 2–0 victory against Angers SCO in a bo3, showing they can close out matches efficiently and perhaps maintain composure under pressure. Their EA FC 26 in-game squad also looks solid: key players like “Boombes,” “Majin,” and “Saad” bring balance — some offering pace and finishing, some width and dribbling, and some defensive stability on the flank.

This suggests Strasbourg’s playstyle might lean on a balanced, perhaps slightly pace-oriented approach, mixing attacking impetus with defensive organization — especially useful in high-stakes BO3 settings.

Current form & playstyle: ESTAC Esports

ESTAC Esports, an eSports organization owned by the football team Troyes, on the other hand, also come in with recent momentum: in their previous match, they recorded a 2–0 bo3 win over AS Monaco Esports, which suggests they are sharp and confident. Given their success and the evenly matched history with Strasbourg, ESTAC likely adopt a straightforward, perhaps pragmatic approach — aiming for clean wins rather than flashy risk-heavy plays.

Their recent win indicates they know how to close out bo3s, which matters in this format.

Head-to-head

Historically, in this competition, Strasbourg and ESTAC Esports have met twice. Each team has one win, so the head-to-head is balanced with no dominant side.

In the most recent encounter (2025), ESTAC Esports won 2–0. In their earlier meeting (2024), Strasbourg responded with a 2–0 win. Thus, neither can claim a clear historical edge, which increases the significance of this match for momentum and group standing.

Match analytics

Strasbourg may rely on a balanced, tactical, and pace-assisted approach, leveraging strong in-game player stats; ESTAC Esports may play with composure, structure, and pragmatism, banking on consistency and the ability to convert chances and close games.

Given the recent form, in-game strength, and playstyle dynamics, we lean slightly toward Strasbourg — but expect a tight bo3. We predict a 2–1 win for Strasbourg. However, you’ll have to wait a few more days to find markets for the match.
