3091
We have a full round of fixtures to enjoy in Ligue 1 this weekend including the meeting between Olympique Lyonnais and RC Strasbourg.
The match will take place at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais and the hosts begin the weekend in 8th place on 25 points while the visitors are down in 19th place on 12 points.
Olympique Lyonnais come into the match on the back of a 0-0 draw at Nantes in Ligue 1 on Wednesday night. Both teams had plenty of shots on target throughout the 90 minutes but could not make the breakthrough.
The draw means Olympique Lyonnais are undefeated in 4 of their last 5 fixtures in all competitions. There have been wins over Brest away in Ligue 1 and Metz at home in the Coupe de France. Olympique Lyonnais have been held to a draw at home by Nice and away to Nantes in Ligue 1.
Form in Ligue 1 shows Olympique Lyonnais have picked up just a single victory in their 5 most recent Ligue 1 matches. However, in their 13 most recent home games in Ligue 1, Lyon have been undefeated 11 times.
They have won 9 of their last 13 Ligue 1 fixtures on home soil but have been struggling to keep clean sheets. Trends show Olympique Lyonnais have kept only 2 clean sheets in their last 15 home Ligue 1 games.
RC Strasbourg make the trip to the Parc Olympique Lyonnais having previously been held to a 2-2 draw at home by Lens in Ligue 1. Despite not winning on home soil, RC Strasbourg will be happy with a point against the team currently second in the league.
Having fallen a goal behind early in the game, RC Strasbourg replied quickly with 2 goals of their own only to concede an equaliser shortly after.
Trends show RC Strasbourg have failed to win any of their 8 most recent Ligue 1 fixtures. They have recorded just a single victory from their last 19 games in the league, which is an extremely poor record.
RC Strasbourg have won 1 of their last 9 away Ligue 1 matches and there have been over 2.5 goals scored in RC Strasbourg's last 5 away league games.
In RC Strasbourg's most recent 7 Ligue 1 matches, both teams have scored.
Looking ahead to the team news and Olympique Lyonnais will be without the injured trio of Houssem Aouar, Henrique, and Julian Pollersbeck.
RC Strasbourg have plenty of injury problems of their own, with Karol Fila, Eiji Kawashima, Thomas Delaine, Colin Dagba, and Nordine Kandil all in the treatment room.
Considering Olympique Lyonnais’ poor home defensive record and the number of goals scored in RC Strasbourg's last 5 away league games, we expect the away team to find the back of the net. However, one goal will not be enough and Olympique Lyonnais should take maximum points, with over 2.5 goals scored in total.
