Strasbourg vs Lyon Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Both sides are unbeaten in their last five matches.
Strasbourg are all set to host Lyon on matchday 27 of the Ligue 1 2024-25 edition. The hosts are in seventh place, having won 12 of their 26 league games so far. The visitors are in fifth place as they have won 13 matches in the same number of games. Both sides are looking to enter the UEFA Champions League spot for the coming season.
Strasbourg will be at home, which will be an added advantage for them. They have picked up a good form and will be looking to continue with this run. It is not going to be an easy outing for them as the visitors are also in good form. If they want the UCL spot for the coming season, then they will have to keep up with the current run.
The same goes for Lyon, but they will be away from home for the coming fixture. It is going to be an important encounter between the two teams. If the visitors go on to win the contest, they will jump into the third spot in the table. These sides are far away from winning the league, but getting to the Champions League spot is still in contention for them.
