Lyon vs Strasbourg Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Ligue 1 2024-25

The hosts have lost all of their league games so far.

It’s time for the third gameweek in Ligue 1 2024-25. Olympique Lyonnais will be hosting RC Strasbourg with an aim of securing the first points in this edition of the league. Lyon faced Rennes and AS Monaco in the first two games, failing to score in either and losing both. Thus, it has not been a satisfactory start for them.

RC Strasbourg, however, have had a good start to their campaign. They shocked Rennes in the last game while sharing spoils with Montpellier in the campaign opener. This game will be a different test for Liam Rosenior’s men, as Lyon at home are marked as the favourites.

The hosts will be desperate for a win in this fixture, having lost their first two and losing six vital points in the early stages. Visitors Strasbourg will look to shock the hosts by capitalizing on Les Gones’s poor form in the league.

Kick-Off:

Friday, 30 August at 07:45 PM UK

Saturday, 31 August at 12:15 AM IST

Location: Parc Olympique Lyonnais, Lyon

Form

Lyon (in all competitions): L-L-L-W-D

Strasbourg (in all competitions): W-D-L-L-L

Players to Watch:

Alexandre Lacazette (Lyon)

The Lyon captain is a veteran warrior of this game. He missed the first game but played full minutes against AS Monaco. He didn’t spark in that game, but the hosts will tend to keep the faith in their legend.

He has featured in a mammoth 350 games for the club, scoring 182 goals, and providing 54 assists. He still possesses a lethal nature and will look to increase his tally and help the team further.

Ismael Doukoure (Strasbourg)

The 21-year-old centre-back played a key role in the back line in the past two Ligue 1 games. He started in both and made apt tackles, good blocks and interceptions to assure RC Strasbourg four points in two matches.

He was used as a defensive midfielder in both games. A similar role is expected in this one too. He needs to maintain his form and also cater for the forwards with sudden assists as he did in the campaign opener.

Match Facts:

• Lyon have not scored in their past three games, losing all of them.
• Strasbourg have not won in their last 12 away games.
• Les Gones are yet to achieve a point in the ongoing Ligue 1.
