Lyon vs Strasbourg Prediction & Betting tips
Olympique Lyonnais and RC Strasbourg meet each other on Tuesday evening for the first quarter final of the Coupe de la Ligue at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais. Earlier this season, Olympique Lyonnais managed to win the home game against RC Strasbourg easily 2-0, but can RC Strasbourg take revenge?
Olympique Lyonnais:
Olympique Lyonnais is still active on four fronts this season. In the league, the team of Bruno Génésio is the number three of the league after the first half of the season with 32 points after eighteen games and a goal difference of +9 (31-21) and thus still in the race for placing for the group stage of the Champions League for next seizeon. Also in the Champions League, OL is doing well by finishing second in the group behind Manchester City, meaning a diptych with FC Barcelona awaits in the eighth finals.
By a little convincing 2-0 victory of a B-team on fifth class Bourges Foot in the 1 / 32th-finals of the Coupe de France, the team of Génésio is sure of a place at the last 32. The 2-0 win did not come easy to achieve because striker Moussa Dembélé of Young France missed several big chances in the initial phase, while Anthony Lopes saw the ball end up behind him on the crossbar in the final phase of the first half. In the second half left back Ferland Mendy, showed a solid value at OL this season to score his quality and deliver an assist.
RC Strasbourg:
RC Strasbourg would actually play a game on Friday-evening in the 1 / 32th-finals of the Coupe de France, but due to bad weather conditions the field of second division Grenoble was unplayable. As a result, Thierry Laurey’s team has not yet been able to complete a race rhythm this year and the last game already dates from December 22 when Olympique Nice was convincingly defeated 2-0 in Strasbourg. The team of Laurey won the Coupe de la Ligue for the last time in 2005 and the supporters are hungry for a new prize, but then Olympique Lyonnais has to be defeated in an away match.
RC Strasbourg has played quite well in the most recent away games and with three victories, three draws and one defeat in the last seven away games, the results are also excellent. Away games against Olympique Lyonnias, on the other hand, have been a problem for RC Strasbourg for many years, which went down scoreless in the last six away matches against Olympique Lyonnais and never won in Lyon.
