Strasbourg vs Lyon prediction: Goals expected
Key stats
- Strasbourg have not kept a clean sheet in their last six games.
- Lyon have won their last 13 matches.
- There were fewer than 11 corners in eight of Lyon's last 10 matches.
Correct score prediction: Strasbourg 1-2 Lyon
Strasbourg are seventh in Ligue 1 with 31 points from 22 games. Gary O’Neil’s men have picked up six wins and suffered three defeats at home, but they need to get back to winning ways after dropping points in recent matches.
They have suffered two defeats in a row and drew another in their last three Ligue 1 matches, and face a tough opponent in Lyon, who are on a rampage at the moment.
At least three goals were scored in each of Strasbourg's last seven matches, and considering Lyon's unbelievable form, and the home side's inability to keep clean sheets at the moment, we predict the visitors to claim all the spoils.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Both teams to score
- HOME: 11/8 (2.38) – 42%
- DRAW: 5/2 (3.5) – 28.6%
- AWAY: 9/5 (2.8) – 35.7%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Joaquin Panicheli scored a stoppage-time penalty to earn Strasbourg a point against Marseille in the 2-2 draw in the last match; otherwise, they would have suffered their third defeat in a row in the league.
Still, given their home form, the bookies have priced them at 11/8 (2.38) as expected winners, with a 42% probability of winning.
Lyon have scored first in nine of their last 10 matches, and back them to do it again at 23/20 (2.15), with a 46.5% chance of landing.
Paulo Fonseca's side are also winning the first half in seven of their last nine matches, and they are priced at 27/11 (3.45) to lead at half-time away from home.
Both sides have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last four H2H meetings, and both teams have scored in nine of their last 10 meetings. Therefore, BTTS – Yes at 13/20 (1.65) is a very tempting bet.

The Czech Republic attacking midfielder joined Lyon from Viktoria Plzen in the 2025 summer transfer window, and has made a huge impact in his first season.
The 25-year-old has already scored 10 goals and registered three assists in 13 Ligue 1 starts this season, and he will be looking to add more to his goal tally.
