RC Strasbourg Alsace look to qualify for the UEFA Europa Conference League when they face Bröndby on Thursday night. Ishé Samuels-Smith, signed from Chelsea over the summer, is set to make his debut for the side. 

Strasbourg began their Ligue 1 season with a win over local rivals FC Metz. However, they are set to make a few changes to the side this evening. Joaquín Panichelli may drop out of the line-up, with Sékou Mara primed for a rare start. 

Le Racing also have to contend with a few absences. Souamaila Coulibaly, Guéla Doué, Lucas Hogsberg, Mathis Amougou, and Diego Moreira are all out. The latter’s absence will open the door for Samuels-Smith to start at LWB. Having signed a contract extension, Ismaël Doukouré will return to the fold.
