Our Prediction for the Lyon vs Strasbourg Match
Lyon, known as "The Weavers," had a difficult start last season but managed to turn things around under coach Pierre Sage, finishing 6th and qualifying for the Europa League. However, the club is now under financial strain due to last season's spending and is being forced to offload players, which may impact their performance this season.
Strasbourg, on the other hand, had a more straightforward goal last season—avoid relegation. They succeeded, finishing 13th. This season, with new management under Liam Rosenior and several new signings, they are looking to build on that success.
Lyon has struggled at the start of the new season, losing to Rennes and Monaco without scoring a goal. Strasbourg has had a more promising start, drawing away against Montpellier and securing a convincing 3-1 victory over Rennes.
Given Lyon’s current form and financial uncertainties, Strasbourg could pose a serious challenge, especially with Lyon under pressure.
