Olympique Lyonnais vs RC Strasbourg Alsace Prediction 30 August 2024
Added on 29 August, 2024
In the opening match of the Ligue 1 matchday 3, crisis-ridden Lyon will measure their strength against Strasbourg!
Crushing defeats 0:3 from Rennes and 0:2 from Monaco - yes, Lyon got not such easy opponents, but after an active transfer campaign, more was clearly expected from them. Let us remind you that Les Gones finished the 2023/24 season in sixth place, and at its starting stage the club was even in the relegation zone.
For the second year in a row, Strasbourg are essentially considered a Chelsea farm club - such a powerful lobby actually guarantees them a quiet life in the middle of the pack with small European Cup ambitions. Let us remind you that earlier the Alsatians drew 1:1 with Montpellier and spectacularly beat Rennes 3:1.
In our opinion, it will be very difficult for Lyon to justify their status as the favorite of the pair. Even in the best-case scenario, the home team will win by no more than one goal.
