Strasbourg vs Lyon prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-03-27 19:45.
[p]Strasbourg are one of the form sides on the continent, having pieced together a streak of five wins from their last six outings (D1). Manager Liam Rosenior will be praying the international break hasn’t impacted their momentum, as only near-perfect league leaders PSG have picked up more points across the last 15 Ligue 1 rounds than the 30 Strasbourg have accumulated (W9, D3, L3). [/p]
[p]The Blue and Whites have subsequently surged up the standings and currently sit seventh, just a point and a place outside the European spots. The Stade de la Meinau faithful will be expecting their team’s assault on the top-six to continue here, since they’ve only witnessed Strasbourg lose once in the league on home soil this season (W7, D4).[/p]
[p]Upcoming visitors Lyon pose a real threat to that record, since the Kids have scored a mammoth 25 goals en route to winning seven of their last eight matches (L1). Five of those wins came in Ligue 1 where they hold a two-point advantage over their hosts, which is also the same margin of difference they need to make up to the division’s top four. [/p]
[p]Manager Paulo Fonseca will be confident he can at least momentarily make up that deficit, since he’s won three of his four managerial encounters with Strasbourg (L1). The travelling fans have also become accustomed to success in this particular fixture, as Lyon only lost four of the last 29 H2Hs prior to Fonseca’s arrival (W22, D3).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Only one of Andrey Santos’ goalscoring appearances for Strasbourg has ended in defeat (W7, D1), which was a thrilling 4-3 defeat to Lyon in the reverse fixture. Corentin Tolisso scored just before half-time in that game to make it 1-1, but his six goals since have come after the break. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Both teams have scored and there’s been over 2.5 goals in ten of the last 14 H2Hs.[/p]
