Strasbourg
The Alsatians were the only side to secure a place in the top eight and a direct route into the round of 16 with matches to spare. One game before the end of the group stage, Strasbourg remain unbeaten, having collected 13 points from a possible 15. Their only dropped points came in October in a 1-1 home draw with Jagiellonia, after which the club has recorded three straight wins. Including the qualifying phase, the French side’s scoring streak in the Conference League has reached six matches, and they are unbeaten in seven in all (5 wins, 2 draws). In the last round Strasbourg kept a clean sheet against Aberdeen (1-0) — their first shutout in six Conference League fixtures.
- The club have won by a one-goal margin in 5 of their last 6 Conference League matches.
- Strasbourg have not conceded more than one goal in five consecutive matches in this competition.
- At least two goals were scored in 5 of Strasbourg’s last 6 Conference League games.

Breidablik
The Icelanders had a very difficult start in the group stage but have recently worked their way back into the race for a playoff place. Breidablik ended a three-match goalless run in the Conference League with a 2-2 draw against Samsunspor, then claimed their first victory in the main tournament by beating Shamrock Rovers 3-1. The win lifted the club to 27th in the table, reducing the gap to 24th place to two points. To reach the playoff spots, Breidablik must beat Strasbourg — any other result will mean elimination from the competition.
- Breidablik have conceded in 16 of their last 17 Conference League matches.
- The club have lost 7 of their last 8 away games in this competition.
- Their poor away run in the Conference League stretches back 13 matches (3 wins, 10 defeats).

Anton Einarsson – Viktor Margeirsson, Damir Muminovic, David Ingvarsson, Andri Joman – Heskuldur Gunnleisson, Viktor Einarsson, Arnor Gauti Jonsson – Aron Bjarnason, August Thorsteinsson, Ouli Oumarsson.

Strasbourg vs Breidablik: Match Prediction
Strasbourg top the group and, counting the qualifying rounds, have won five of their last six matches. The main caveat is their lack of a comfortable winning margin — all five victories this European season have been by a single goal. With qualification already secured, Strasbourg can afford to manage their workload in this final group fixture.
Breidablik still possess strong tournament motivation — they can only progress to the playoffs with a victory over Strasbourg. While an upset seems unlikely, the Icelanders have shown resilience recently, avoiding defeat in five of their last seven Conference League matches (3 wins, 2 draws), and only one of those seven ended in a heavy loss. They have also avoided a heavy defeat in four of their last five away games in this competition.
Prediction – Breidablik +2.5 (Asian handicap)
