Olympique Lyonnais vs RC Strasbourg Alsace Prediction 27 February 2024
Added on 25 February, 2024
Lyon, who are in excellent form, will host strong Strasbourg in the starting match of the French Cup quarter-finals!
Eight victories in the previous ten meetings indicate that Lyon made the right conclusions and is no longer a contender for relegation to Ligue 2. Prior to the match, Les Gones were stronger than Metz (2:1), and in the Cup their victims were Pontarlier (3:0), Bergerac (2:1) and Lille (2:0).
On the way to the Cup quarter-finals, Strasbourg confidently defeated Avoine 4:0, Clermont 3:1 and Le Havre 3:1, which confirmed their ambitions for the trophy. On the other hand, in Ligue 1 the Alsatians have not won for several weeks, and on the previous Saturday they lost 0:3 to Brest in all respects.
We believe that Lyon have a slightly higher chance of advancing further, but due to the not-so-reliable defense, the hosts can hardly count on a clean sheet. Moreover, Strasbourg are not an overtly weak team.
