Lyon

WWWLLL 📉

Lyon will be hoping to return to winning ways here following the 0-2 Ligue 1 loss in their previous game against Monaco.

In that game, Lyon managed 39% possession and 1 attempts at goal with 0 on target. On the other side, Monaco got 21 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. Eliesse Ben Seghir (65') and Lamine Camara (80') scored for Monaco.

It’s not been often in recent games that Lyon haven’t conceded. The facts show that Lyon have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, shipping 11 goals on the way. Let’s see whether or not that trend can be continued on here.

👥 Head to head

Looking at the statistics for their head to head meetings going back to 10/04/2022, there has been little between the sides with Lyon winning 2 of those games, Strasbourg 2 and 2 being draws after 90 minutes of play.

In all, 14 goals were yielded between them throughout the course of those matches, with 7 from Lyon and 7 created by Le Racing. The average number of goals per game works out to 2.33.

The previous league match between these sides was Ligue 1 match day 34 on 19/05/2024 when the final score was Lyon 2-1 Strasbourg.

On that day, Lyon had 64% possession and 15 shots at goal with 6 on target. The scorer was Alexandre Lacazette (40', 96').

At the other end, Strasbourg got 10 shots on goal with 4 on target. Habib Diarra (63') scored.

The match was refereed by Eric Wattellier.

🗞️ Team News: Lyon

It’s our opinion that Lyon will probably opt for a 4-3-3 formation with Lucas Perri, Clinton Mata, Duje Caleta-Car, Moussa Niakhate, Abner, Maxence Caqueret, Nemanja Matic, Orel Mangala, Said Benrahma, Alexandre Lacazette and Malick Fofana.

📰 Team News: Strasbourg

Out of a mainly full-strength group of players, there’s only a single fitness worry for the Strasbourg manager Liam Rosenior to be concerned about. Milos Lukovic (Knee injury) won’t be in action.

We’re of the thinking that Le Racing will likely utilise a 3-4-1-2 system by sending out Karl-Johan Johnsson, Guela Doue, Saidou Sow, Abakar Sylla, Dilane Bakwa, Felix Lemarechal, Andrey Santos, Ismael Doukoure, Habib Diarra, Sebastian Nanasi and Emanuel Emegha.

🔮 Prediction

We envisage that Strasbourg have it in them to score against this Lyon outfit, however that possibly won’t quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We are anticipating a narrow 2-1 winning margin for Lyon at the end of the 90 minutes. Should be a good one.
