Lyon have had a disastrous start to the season, losing 3-0 to Rennes 3-0 in the first round and suffering a 0-2 defeat against Monaco. They have yet to score their first goal, and the quality of gameplay deserves nothing but criticism.
Even with the return of Alexander Lacazette, Les Gones have struggled to make an impact. Despite Georges Mikautadze’s early appearance due to Ernest Nuamah’s injury, Lyon’s performance remains unconvincing.
Last season, Lyon began similarly, starting the campaign with two consecutive losses. This had happened for the first time since 1966/67. Despite some positive results towards the end of last season, they seem to be struggling once again.
Strasbourg started the new season convincingly. A draw against Montpellier was followed by a victory over Rennes. Emanuel Emegha’s performance helped the hosts to clinch a 3-1 win.
Le Racing were superior in the previous match. They controlled the tempo and were lethal on counterattacks. Strasbourg controlled the tempo and capitalized on counterattacks, though their defense showed some vulnerabilities.
Liam Rosenior’s side now sit sixth in the table with four points. Considering how they have been playing so far, they will likely fight for European competitions. Under Rosenior, Strasbourg are showing entertaining football and they will be aiming for a positive outcome against Lyon.
Bet hereAfter a poor start, Lyon will be highly motivated to bounce back on home soil. They were lacklustre against Rennes and Monaco, particularly with issues in defense being a significant concern.
In the previous H2H clash, Strasbourg narrowly lost 2-1. However, they could have won the match had Emegha not missed a penalty.
However, given Strasbourg’s current form, it will be a tough challenge for Lyon. Le Racing have been showing excellent football and are likely to push for at least a draw. They will not sit back in the defence and likely use their chances in the attack. We suggest picking Strasbourg or a draw in the following encounter.
The matches between these two sides have often delighted us with high-scoring affairs. To illustrate, in the last nine matches seven ended with three goals or more. We think this game will follow a similar pattern and produce another goal-fest.
Lyon have conceded five goals and are still searching for their first goal of the season. Strasbourg, on the other hand, have both scored and conceded. Both teams prefer an attacking style, and we don’t expect a closed game.
Georges Mikautadze has yet to net his first goal and this is a perfect opportunity for a Georgian forward. Meanwhile, in Strasbourg, Andrey Santos has been in great form, with the former Chelsea player scoring the opener against Rennes. Given the attacking potential of both teams, we suggest picking over 2.5 goals in this clash.
