Strasbourg vs Dunkerque Prediction and Betting Tips | December 21st 2025

Strasbourg will host Dunkerque at Stade de la Meinau on Sunday in the round of 64 of the 2025-26 Coupe de France campaign. The hosts will be keen to get a result against a lower division side and book their spot in the next round of the domestic cup.

Strasbourg will return to the French Cup this weekend after being knocked out in the round of 16 by a struggling Angers side last season and will be looking to at least match their previous progress. Le Racing, currently seventh in the French top flight, have struggled to pick up points recently, securing only one win in their last six Ligue 1 games, but will be hoping to bounce back with a strong cup performance.

Dunkerque, on the other hand, secured a penalty shootout win over Boulogne-sur-Mer in their opening-round fixture before following it up with a 5-0 victory over SC Abbeville last time out.

The Ligue 2 side, currently on a nine-game unbeaten run, were the overachievers of last season’s Coupe de France, reaching the semifinals before losing to eventual champions Paris Saint-Germain, and will be hoping to replicate a similar run this season.

Strasbourg vs Dunkerque Prediction

Le Racing are favorites going into Saturday’s fixture, thanks to their home advantage, and will need only to avoid complacency to secure the win.

Les Maritimes will head into the weekend clash full of confidence due to their stellar form. However, the gap in class between the sides means they will have to be at their best to avoid defeat and will hope to push the game into extra time or penalties.
