Lyon
Strasbourg
Contents
- Competition: Coupe de France
- Date: Tuesday, 27th February 2024
- Kickoff: 19:45 UTC / 20:45 CET
- Venue: Parc Olympique Lyonnais (Lyon)
Lyon’s 2023/24 season has been tumultuous. For the majority of the season, they languished at the bottom of the table, and fans were concerned that they might be relegated to the second division for the first time since the 1988/89 season. However, since December, the team’s performance has improved significantly, and they now appear capable of finishing in a mid-table position, at least. Lyon have triumphed in their last five consecutive matches, including a 2-1 victory against Metz on their home ground. The teams were evenly matched in that game, yet ultimately, the visitors proved more effective, allowing Pierre Sage’s team to secure all three points.
Strasbourg is in close proximity to the relegation zone, being a mere three points above the playoff area. Their battle persists as they endure their third consecutive loss (3-0 at home against Brest) on Saturday. With a home side expected goal (xG) of merely 0.21 compared to the guests’ 2.27, it comes as no shock that Patrick Vieira’s team suffered yet another defeat. Strasbourg is set to face the in-form Lyon next, which might further escalate their crisis after Tuesday’s match.
Lyon vs Strasbourg pick: Lyon to win
Lyon’s recent improvement in their gameplay is evident. If they maintain this momentum, they are likely to dominate Strasbourg in Tuesday night’s game.
