Strasbourg host Rayo Vallecano at the Stade de la Meinau in the second leg of their UEFA Conference League semi-final. The French side carry the burden of a difficult recent run into this fixture, while the Spanish visitors arrive with a first-leg advantage to protect.
Strasbourg sit top of the Conference League standings, but their domestic form has been a concern. Four defeats in their last five matches across all competitions, including losses to Toulouse and Rennes in Ligue 1, paint a side that has struggled for consistency when the European spotlight dims. A 2-3 win at Lorient in late April offered a brief reminder of their attacking quality.
Rayo Vallecano travel to Alsace with momentum behind them. The Madrid side won the first leg 1-0 at Vallecas on April 30, and a victory over Getafe in LaLiga last weekend confirmed they can carry that form across competitions. Three wins from their last five matches represent their best recent run of results.
The visitors are no strangers to adversity this season. Rayo have fought a LaLiga relegation battle while reaching the last four of European competition, a balancing act that has stretched their squad but also hardened their resolve. Eleventh in the Spanish top flight, they cannot afford to let their guard drop on either front.
For Strasbourg, this is a chance to reach a European final on home soil, but the task is clear: they must overturn a one-goal deficit against a side that has shown it can grind out results. The Stade de la Meinau crowd will need to play its part.
