Racing Strasbourg continued their recent good run against former champions Montpellier after both teams played out a goalless affair in a French Ligue 1 Matchday 27 clash played on Friday night.

The stalemate from the game ensured that hosts Strasbourg have now lost just one of the last 18 league games with Montpellier dating back to some 15 years ago (2003).

The goalless result was enough to lift Montpellier above Nantes into the top 5 (5th position) with 39 points while their opponents stay in 14th spot with 31 points from 27 league games.
