Strasbourg vs. Lyon Betting Preview
Strasbourg
It has been a productive period for Strasbourg, as they have smoothly moved out of the relegation places after picking up three wins from their last five matches. However, they still face a battle to remain in the top flight this term, as they are only out of the bottom four places on the head-to-head record. The French side comes into this match in good confidence, as they have registered back-to-back wins in their previous two.
However, Strasbourg hasn’t won three successive games in Ligue 1 since January 2022. But, they have now won more games under Frederic Antonetti than they had in 23 matches under former bosses Julien Stephan and Mathieu le Scornet.
Strasbourg has a poor record in previous clashes with Lyon, as they have lost 70% of their matches against their rivals this week at Stade de la Meinau in the 21st century. But, they did pick up a 2-1 win in the reverse clash this season.
Lyon
Lyon appeared to be on course to challenge for a European spot after winning three successive matches. However, defeat last weekend now means that they will need a minor miracle to finish in the top five. They come into this latest round of Ligue 1 fixtures sitting six points off fifth-placed Lille, and the games on the Ligue 1 schedule are beginning to run out.
It has been another disappointing campaign for Lyon, as they have registered fewer than 50 points after 32 games in the top-flight for the second straight season. Prior to last season, they had never picked up fewer than 50 points in each of the last 22 seasons.
But, Lyon often enjoys their visits to this stadium, as they have landed victories in seven of their last ten. Despite losing the previous game between the sides, they haven’t lost both games against Strasbourg in a single season since 1979-80.
Strasbourg vs. Lyon Betting Picks
This is easily a match that could go in either direction, as both Lyon and Strasbourg have shown flashes of solid form in recent weeks. However, Lyon’s healthy advantage in the head-to-head meetings does offer some avenue for value on Friday.
We think that the away side’s price in the Strasbourg vs Lyon odds is marginally too high, so we will be siding with the away team to land maximum points this weekend.
- Pick: Lyon (+137)
