Lyon vs Strasbourg Predictions

Lyon Backed to Edge Strasbourg at Groupama

Lyon can be backed to win at home to Strasbourg on Sunday. Paulo Fonseca’s side have won eight of their last ten Ligue 1 games at the Groupama Stadium.

Strasbourg are third in Ligue 1, two places and one point above Lyon, with both teams having won more games than they’ve lost this season. The visitors have won five and lost two of their eight games, while Lyon have won five and lost three.

Lyon have been impressive defensively at home this season, conceding just two goals in four Ligue 1 games – an average of 0.50 goals per game. They have kept four clean sheets in their last five on home soil.

Lyon have been in goalscoring form, with the hosts having found the net in 23 of their last 24 league games. They have scored in nine consecutive matches, including a 3-0 win over Metz in August.

Strasbourg have been struggling defensively of late, failing to keep a clean sheet in four of their last six league games. They have shipped eight goals on their travels this season, an average of two goals against per game.

Lyon may be able to edge out Strasbourg in a close game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. Thirteen of the last 15 Ligue 1 meetings between these sides have seen both teams find the net, and Lyon have won two of the last three by a single goal.
