Le Racing suffered a 2-1 loss to 1860 Munchen in their first pre-season friendly last week and were held to a goalless draw by Wolfsberger in their previous outing earlier this week. Interestingly, they have just one win in all competitions since April.
The Turkish Super Lig side kicked off their pre-season with a 2-1 win over Petrolul last month.

- Fenerbahce have met French teams 23 times in all competitions. They have a poor record in these meetings with just five wins while suffering 12 defeats.

Strasbourg vs Fenerbahce Prediction
Les Bleu et Blanc are winless in the pre-season thus far, scoring just one goal, and will look to improve upon that record. They have just one win in their last eight friendlies, with five games ending in draws.
The Yellow Canaries have seen a drop in form in the pre-season and are winless in their last two games after recording a win in their first match. Mourinho is likely to experiment with his squad.
With that in mind and considering the current form of the two teams, a draw is likely to ensue.
