Lyon vs Strasbourg prediction and betting tips on February 27, 2024
One of the quarter-final matches of the French Cup will take place at the "Parc Olympique Lyonnais", where the local team Lyon will host Strasbourg. Here's the prediction for the match from Dailysports experts.
Lyon
The "Weavers" seem to have found excellent form recently, although it's not certain they can make up for the shortcomings of the autumn season. Currently, Lyon sits in tenth place in the French Ligue 1 table, accumulating 28 points from 23 matches. They trail the European qualification zone by eight points and the third position by 11 points. In their last league match, Pierre Sagna's team defeated Metz away with a score of 2-1. This victory marked Lyon's fourth consecutive win in the league. In the French Cup, Lyon advanced past Pontarlier, Bergerac, and Lille.
Strasbourg
In contrast to their opponent in the French Cup, Strasbourg hasn't been pleasing their fans in recent matches. In the last round, "Le Racing" suffered a 0-3 defeat at home to Brest, marking their fourth consecutive loss in Ligue 1. As a result, Patrick Vieira's team dropped from 9th to 12th place, only three points above the relegation zone. In the French Cup, "Le Racing" defeated Avranches, Clermont, and Le Havre. Away from home, Patrick Vieira's team hasn't been impressive and is one of the weakest in Ligue 1. In 11 away matches, RCS managed only two wins, losing five.

Additionally, considering the recent scoring records of both teams, "Both Teams to Score" at odds of 1.82 could be worth considering.
