League 1

The last head-to-head meeting between these teams ended with a 2-1 victory for Lyon. Strasbourg has conceded in eight consecutive matches.

Lyon

Last season, the team finished in sixth place in the league table and qualified for the UEFA Europa League. Lyon also reached the final of the Coupe de France, where they lost to PSG 1-2. In preparation for the current season, the “Lions” played six matches: three wins, one draw, and two losses.

However, Lyon’s start to the season has been disappointing. In the first round, they lost 0-3 to Rennes, and in their next home game, they were defeated 0-2 by Montpellier. Currently, Lyon is in second-to-last place with a goal difference of 0-5.

Strasbourg

Strasbourg This season, Strasbourg has had a significantly better start compared to Lyon. In the first round, Strasbourg drew 1-1 with Montpellier, and in the second round, they secured a convincing 3-1 victory over Rennes. This strong start has placed them in sixth place with four points and a goal difference of 4-2. For reference, Strasbourg finished in 13th place last season, accumulating 39 points over 34 matches and finishing ten points clear of the relegation zone.

Prediction

Lyon has had a very poor start to the season. Two losses in two rounds is clearly not what was expected. Strasbourg, on the other hand, has performed well in their two matches, earning four points. However, they have drawn their away game, and in the last five head-to-head encounters at Lyon's stadium, the hosts have won four times. My prediction is a Lyon victory with odds of 1.76.
