Strasbourg can and started quite well, taking four points for the first two rounds, but it is unlikely that all this can be called stability. Bordeaux, Saint-Etienne, all these are serious rivals, but not more serious than Lyon, and two games still do not really mean anything, and especially when one opponent plays in the minority from the 18th minute, and in the other with 13 th. Strasbourg is very lucky so far.
Lyon in the last round unexpectedly lost to Reims, than he subjected himself to a wall of criticism. Jean-Michel Olas, president of the club, could not refrain from it, and when he is angry, an immediate reaction should follow. So everyone is waiting for a response from Lyons in a home match against Strasbourg. In addition, the opponent is suitable, with a not very reliable game of defense, although while he manages to keep the mark - in the first two rounds Strasbourg did not lose. Lyon has a huge potential in attack, in creativity. Fekir returned to the game, Lopez, too, that will add reliability and confidence in the defense, as well as the appearance there of the newcomer Denayer. And in the creative part with Depaem, Traore and Mariano, and so there was no problem - the main thing - the implementation.

Strasbourg showed up at the start of the season not bad, but mainly due to emotional charge. On the road he used the non-assembly of Bordeaux, and at home Strasbourg by tradition is strong enough and assertive, although with St. Etienne experienced many problems. Visiting Lyon will have them even more. Strasbourg's stance on the counter-attacks may lead to the goals of the guests, but it is unlikely that the defense of the guests will be able to withstand the onslaught of the angry attacking Lyon, who in the last seven home games in League 1 won, also in his field he beat Strasbourg seven times in a row, and the meetings were always effective . Well, he scored at least two goals in the last six matches with this opponent.
Strasbourg is a convenient contender for Lyon, for the attack of Lyon, especially on his field. So we will wait for productive football in favor of the hosts.
