Betting on Olympique Lyon
The hosts come into this Olympique Lyon vs Strasbourg in the middle of a season in which results haven’t been as expected. For the moment, in Ligue 1, Les Lions are in eighth place in the French championship with 25 points from 7 wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats.
Despite this, the team coached by ex-footballer Laurent Blanc had a good start this campaign, although it has been in decline in recent matches. Their last Ligue 1 match against Nantes ended in a goalless draw; even though it was an entertaining match, the lack of precision in Les Gones’ attacks could cost them points later on.
Possible Lyon lineup (4-3-3): Anthony Lopes; Sael Kumbedi Nseke, Dejan Lovren, Castello Lukeba, Nicolas Tagliafico; Maxence Caqueret, Thiago Mendes, Johann Lepenant; Mateus Martins, Alexandre Lacazette, Karl Toko Ekambi.
Betting on RC Strasbourg
The team led by Julien Stéphan has had a very poor performance so far in Ligue 1. With the result of the last match against RC Lens (2-2), Strasbourg has now gone five consecutive matchdays without a win and is in penultimate position in the French league.
This Olympique Lyon vs Strasbourg, like every game from here on, is a great chance to get out of the relegation zone. Although the outlook is not easy, and they will be on the road for this game, Strasbourg’s players will have to pull out all the stops and look for at least a draw that would give them hope in the midst of their difficult situation.
Possible Strasbourg lineup (5-3-2): Matz Sels; Ismael Doukoure, Lucas Perrin, Gerzino Nyamsi, Alexander Djiku, Dimitri Liénard; Mouhamadou Diarra, Sanjin Prcić, J. Bellegarde; Ludovic Ajorque, Kevin Gameiro.
JefeBet Prediction
For this interesting clash between Olympique Lyon vs Strasbourg, we believe that the win will go to the home team. Despite the fact that both teams had a challenging start after the holidays, ever since the start of this season of Ligue 1, Lyon has maintained the illusion among their supporters of achieving something meaningful.
We think the tension brought on by both clubs’ recent poor performances will undoubtedly make the game very exciting. Still, based on their records and the history between the two teams, Les Lions are likely to come out on top.
Prediction: Olympique Lyon win 1-0.
