Lyon vs Strasbourg Match Analysis & Prediction
27/02/2024 10:45 pm
In the first quarter-final of the Coupe de France, Lyon and Strasbourg will meet in this competition for the first time since 2010 on Tuesday night at Groupama Stadium.
Les Gones progressed into the last eight following a narrow 2-1 victory over Lille earlier this month, while Le Racing made it through to this stage with a 3-1 win over Le Havre.
For a sixth successive time at the Coupe de France, Lyon have made the quarter-finals, winning their previous two matches at this competition by a 2-1 scoreline.
Pierre Sage’s side are currently on a five-game winning run across all competitions, with a 100% record this month, winning each of those matches by a single goal.
With their victory in the last 16 of this competition, Lyon have won four successive home matches at the Coupe de France and have not lost a home game at this tournament since the 2021 quarter-finals against Monaco (2-0).
Lyon have not been knocked out of a Coupe de France match when scoring the opening goal since their semi-final defeat to PSG in 2020 (5-1), conceding five unanswered strikes on that occasion.
Meanwhile, it has been a rough 2024 domestic campaign for Strasbourg so far, without a Ligue 1 victory this year after winning their final three league matches of 2023.
However, the Coupe de France this season has gone much better, with Patrick Vieira’s side progressing into the last eight for the first time since the 2017-18 campaign.
Not since winning this competition in May 2001 have Strasbourg progressed beyond the quarter-final round, losing their last two appearances at this stage of the tournament.
Le Racing have won three of their last four away matches at the Coupe de France but have never beaten a Ligue 1 side on the road in this competition since returning to the French top flight in 2017-18.
Lyon vs. Strasbourg Head to head
In the 40 previous meetings between these two teams, Lyon have claimed 25 victories while Strasbourg have won eight, and they have drawn in seven. Strasbourg have scored 39 goals and conceded 77 in the process.
