-----------------------------------
RC Strasbourg
Strasbourg, coached by Liam Rosenior, is preparing for the 2025-26 Ligue 1 season after a mid-table finish in 2024-25. They lost 3-1 to Galatasaray in a friendly on July 26, 2025, but showed attacking promise. Their pre-season form includes 3 wins and 2 losses, averaging 2.6 goals scored and 1.55 goals conceded. Key players include Andrey Santos, Eduard Sobol, and new signing Mike Penders, expected to debut in goal. Strasbourg’s strengths are their midfield dominance and home form at Stade de la Meinau, but defensive vulnerabilities persist. They aim to test tactics ahead of their Ligue 1 opener.
Udinese Calcio
Udinese, led by Kosta Runjaic, is gearing up for the 2025-26 Serie A season after a lower mid-table finish in 2024-25. They are winless in their last five matches, including recent friendly losses to Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai (3-1) and Fiorentina (3-2), averaging 2.6 goals scored and 1.6 goals conceded. Key players include Florian Thauvin and Lorenzo Lucca. Udinese’s strengths are their attacking output, but their defensive organization and winless streak are concerns. They seek to reverse their poor form before Serie A begins.
Head-to-Head
Strasbourg and Udinese have no prior competitive meetings, making this their first encounter. Friendlies between Ligue 1 and Serie A sides average 2.7 goals, with 60% over 2.5 goals and 50% both teams scoring (BTTS), suggesting an open game.
Predicted Score: Strasbourg 2-1 Udinese Calcio
This friendly on July 30, 2025, at Stade de la Meinau, Strasbourg, at 4:00 PM UTC (12:00 PM EDT), is a key pre-season test, per Sofascore.com. Strasbourg’s Santos and Sobol face Udinese’s Thauvin and Lucca, with Strasbourg’s home advantage testing Udinese’s shaky defense. Strasbourg are favorites (-130 odds) over Udinese (+290), with a draw at +250, per Sofascore.com. Trends (Strasbourg: 60% over 2.5 goals; Udinese: 60%) suggest goals. The 20°C afternoon and friendly context should keep cards low. Strasbourg is likely to score through Santos, with Lucca possibly netting for Udinese. Strasbourg’s form and home edge should secure a narrow win, though Udinese’s attack keeps it close.
