Strasbourg desperately need points on Saturday, Jan 23 at 5:00 PM in the Ligue 1. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Strasbourg come into this fixture in mixed form (0W 0D 1L). Lyon, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (1W 0D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Strasbourg head into this on the back of a defeat, while Lyon arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Strasbourg and Lyon have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (4W–2D–4W). Their last encounter ended in Strasbourg won 3–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Lyon's quality should tell even on the road. Strasbourg will push, but the visitors have too much class. Lyon to win.
