Strasbourg vs Rayo Vallecano Competition – Conference League Stadium: Stade de la Meinau Date: 7th May 2026 Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT
The Stade de la Meinau hosts the second leg of a Conference League semi-final on Thursday evening as Strasbourg face Rayo Vallecano with a one-goal deficit to overturn. The Spanish side claimed a 1-0 win in the first leg at Vallecas, meaning Strasbourg must win to advance in normal time — a one-goal victory would force extra time, while anything more takes the French side through. For Rayo, a draw or better seals their place in the final.
Strasbourg come into this second leg in genuinely alarming form. Their most recent outing was a 2-1 home defeat to Toulouse in Ligue 1 on Sunday. Prior to that came the 1-0 first leg defeat at Rayo, a tight but damaging result that leaves the hosts needing a goal they have struggled to produce domestically. Before that, a 3-2 away win at Lorient was a rare positive in the league, while earlier in this run a 2-0 home defeat to Nice in the Coupe de France and a 3-0 home loss to Stade Rennais complete a sequence of four defeats from five. The confidence levels in this squad will need a rapid transformation if they are to produce the kind of performance required to overturn the deficit against opponents in far sharper form.
Rayo Vallecano arrive in Alsace riding high. Their most recent outing produced a 2-0 away win at Getafe in La Liga on Sunday — three points that demonstrate their domestic solidity alongside their European exertions. Prior to that, the 1-0 first leg win at Vallecas was controlled and disciplined. Before that, a 3-3 home draw with Real Sociedad in the league was an entertaining but point-dropping result, and earlier in this run a 1-0 home win over Espanyol and a 3-1 defeat away at AEK Athens in the previous Conference League knockout round — a result they overcame on aggregate — complete a sequence that shows Rayo’s resilience across competitions. They arrive knowing a draw sends them through, and they have the tactical maturity to play for exactly that.
The two sides have met only once previously — in the first leg of this semi-final. Rayo Vallecano won 1-0 at home on 30th April 2026, giving them the one-goal aggregate lead they carry into Thursday’s second leg.
Strasbourg compete in French Ligue 1 while Rayo are in La Liga — two clubs from different domestic contexts who have found their way to a European semi-final through determination and squad cohesion. For Strasbourg, Thursday night represents one of the biggest occasions in the club’s recent history; for Rayo, reaching the Conference League final would be an extraordinary achievement for a club of their resources. The home crowd and the requirement to score will drive Strasbourg, but the clinical edge has been with the visitors throughout this campaign.
In the United Kingdom, the match is live on TNT Sports 5 and available to stream via HBO Max. In the United States, viewers can watch on Paramount+ and ViX. The game is also available in Germany on RTL+ and across Italy on Sky Sport 255 and NOW TV.
