Command Analysis
Lyon
FranceCurrent form
Lyon still can't find their game. The crisis began with the Emirates Cup final against London's Arsenal (0:2). Then, in the first round, they unexpectedly lost to Rennes (0:3), and in the second round, as expected, they were knocked out by Monaco (0:2). Pierre Sazh has tried everything: he sent Mikautadde into the attack, then he formed a duet with Lacazette, but he still can't score.
The problems are not only in the attack, but the defense is not playing at its best either. In all three defeats there was a different game plan. First 4-3-3, then 4-3-1-.2, and then 4-3-2-1, but none of them allowed to keep a clean sheet. Moreover, they conceded at least twice per game. It will be very interesting what the coach of the "children" will come up with this time.
At the moment, the team is in the penultimate place in the tournament table and only in terms of goals scored and conceded is it not at the very bottom. The hosts have five conceded goals and none scored. Only Brest has a worse indicator, which has also not scored a single goal, but has conceded one more goal.

Strasbourg
FranceCurrent form
In the last round, Strasbourg unexpectedly won confidently against Rennes (3:1) on their home field. Moreover, a fourth goal was scored, but it was cancelled due to offside. Unlike their upcoming opponent, the visitors have not lost yet in the new season and scored in two rounds. Let us recall that in the first round there was a productive draw with Montpellier (1:1). Looking at such indicators, one can assume that the "racers" are capable of causing a lot of problems to the dismantled Lyon on the road.
On August 25, it was exactly a month since 40-year-old Liam Rosenior took the helm of the "weavers". With his arrival, the game gained color and "Strasbourg" does not close in its penalty area, and is not afraid to go on the attack.
At the moment, Strasbourg is closing the top 6 of the national championship and of course the club has no desire to lose positions, so it is unlikely that any other tactics will be chosen in the upcoming match. The footballers will act as sharply as they did in the first two rounds.

Lukovic will not play in the upcoming match due to injury.

3.20Tip and bets
Lyon's poor performances must end at some point. Their fans are eagerly awaiting the team to play at the proper level and start climbing the rankings. First, they need to at least score. We believe they will be able to do so in this match, but they are unlikely to keep a clean sheet against a Strasbourg team that is gaining momentum.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.79
Bet on the outcome
In the last match with Monaco, we did not expect a miracle from Lyon. But in the upcoming match, it may happen. Strasbourg cannot be called an impassable opponent, but the "children" are now very far from their ideal form. It is quite possible that they will still manage to play for a minimal victory.
Our prediction is a one-goal win for Lyon with odds of 3.80
Bet on corners
Most likely, the game will be open and the teams will be able to make a decent number of passes from the corner flag.
Our prediction is total over 8.5 corners with odds of 1.70
