Strasbourg vs Lyon Predictions and Free Betting Tips from expert tipsters when they go head-to-head in the French Ligue 1 on Sunday, 13 August 2023.
Strasbourg are set to host Lyon at Stade de la Meinau to kick off their new Ligue 1 season. Strasbourg has had a handful of strong preseason outings as they want to improve on their 15th-place finish from last season under new manager Patrick Vieira.
Their opponent, Lyon’s preseason has been dismal. They will, however, strive to improve on their fourth-place performance the previous season.
The last time these two clubs met was in April. Lyon managed to deliver a 2-1 win that day.
In the last ten meetings between the two teams. Strasbourg has won twice, there has been three draws, and Lyon has won five times.
We are counting on Strasbourg to pull off a win here. They have played rather well in the lead-up to the season opener. They are currently unbeaten in their last five matches. Further winning two of those matches.
Lyon, on the other hand, had a disappointing preseason. Their past four matches all all ended in defeats.
We expect goals in this match. In each of Strasbourg’s last seven matches, there have been more than 2.5 goals scored. Also, Lyon were the second highest scorers in the league previous season.
In addition, five of the last six h2h meetings between these two have had over 2.5 goals. By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this time out.
Neither of these two teams has had a solid defensive record in recent weeks. The hosts have failed to keep clean sheets in six of their past seven matches. While the visitors also failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last five matches.
Thus, the chances are quite high for goals to come from either end of the pitch.
Strasbourg has had a strong preseason and has fared quite well against decent opponents heading into the match. They are unbeaten in their last five matches. Furthermore, Lyon has had an abysmal form going into the match.
A draw no bet option in favour of Strasbourg at 1.83 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.
For the second tip, over 2.5 goals and BTTS at 1.90 odds seems very promising. Considering both teams recent goal involvement in their matches and their past results.
