  • Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
  • Venue: Stade de la Meinau (Strasbourg)

On Friday evening, two in-form teams, Strasbourg and Lyon, will face off in the 27th round of the Ligue 1 at Stade de la Meinau in Strasbourg.

Strasbourg have been mostly in the mid or lower part of the league's table since their promotion back in the 2016/17 season. This season, it looked like they would be around their usual placement. Still, after an incredible run where they had five wins and one draw, they moved super close to the European spots. Right now, they are in 7th place with 43 points, only one point away from the desired 6th place. Even the Champions League isn't too far - just four points.

Lyon are slowly improving its results over the seasons. This season has the potential to be their best in a long time. They are sitting in 5th place with 45 points, just two points away from the third place and the Champions League appearance next season. But besides their good season in the Ligue 1, "Les Gones" are doing great in the Europa League, where they will face off against Manchester United in the Quarter-Finals.

Strasbourg vs Lyon pick: Both teams to score

Strasbourg are in excellent form, having won five of the last six games while scoring two or more goals on three occasions. At home, they are scoring regularly and have done so in 11 out of 13 matches - almost 85%.

Lyon won five in a row and seven in the last eight. During those eight games, they have been fantastic offensively and have scored 25 goals - 3.125 per game! They even scored two goals against the best team in France, PSG. However, we cannot really say they have been great defensively, making them excellent for btts bet. In the last 11 games, both teams scored on nine occasions - 82%.

In the first h2h game this season, we saw a super exciting 4:3 win for Lyon. Considering all the above, we expect another high-scoring game with both teams scoring.

Lyon team news

On 2nd March (after a 2:1 win against Reims), coach Paulo Fonseca had a heated argument with the referee and got a massive nine-month touchline ban! According to French media reports, the club failed an appeal, but we shouldn't expect that to be solved any time soon. 

When it comes to injuries, the team should have the entire squad available.
