Strasbourg and Lyon kick the weekend’s action off in Ligue 1 when they meet at the Stade de la Meinau on Friday night. Differing fortunes last week mean the hosts enter this fixture in much higher spirits than Lyon. A colossal performance from Frederic Antonetti’s Strasbourg side saw them win 2-0 away to a Reims outfit that have been notoriously tough to beat last weekend.
Claiming consecutive wins for the first time this season has moved Strasbourg out of the drop zone on goal difference. Habib Diallo’s return from suspension was huge for the side, as he netted both goals in the win, taking his tally to 17 for the season.
Diallo’s influence is perfectly illustrated by the fact his goals in 2023 alone have won Strasbourg a vital 10 points in their battle against relegation. Just one point separates the four sides placed 14th to 17th in Ligue 1, with Strasbourg, Nantes and Brest all tied on 32.
Le Racing can enter this home fixture knowing they are a much better unit at the Stade de la Meinau since Antonetti took over too, as they have now won four of their last five here, having won none of their first 11 home games of the season.

Strasbourg vs Lyon Prediction
Le Racing have been in impressive form at home recently and have won four of their last five games at Friday’s venue. While they have enjoyed a good run at home in recent games, they have just two wins since 2000 at home against Lyon.
Les Gones have suffered just one defeat since February in the league and look to be in good touch at the moment. They are unbeaten in their last four away games. They have a good record against the hosts and will be looking to avoid defeat.

Strasbourg vs Lyon Team News
Ukrainian full-back Eduard Sobol is a doubt for Strasbourg as he continues his recovery from a muscle problem. Gerzino Nyamsi will miss out with a sprained ankle, and so too will reserve goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima, who has a shoulder injury.
Kevin Gameiro has started Strasbourg’s last four home games but has been a substitute for all of their away games in that time, so he may come back in to form a duo up top with Diallo.
Blanc has just one injury issue to worry about within his Lyon side heading into this one, with Mohamed El Arouch out with an ankle injury.
Despite his late own goal last week, Gusto should return to the starting XI after making his return from injury off the bench against Marseille.
