## Key Stats, Form & H2H

| Stat | Strasbourg | Lyon |
| --- | --- | --- |
| League Position | 7th | 3rd |
| Ligue 1 Form (Last 6) | D-W-W-L-L-D | W-W-W-W-W-W |
| Points Dropped in 2026 | Several | **Zero** |
| Winning Run (All Comps) | — | 13 consecutive games |
| Goals Conceded (Last 7 PL) | — | Only 4 |
| Last H2H at Stade de la Meinau | **Strasbourg won 4-2** | Lost |

Lyon’s form in 2026 is simply breathtaking — seven consecutive Ligue 1 wins, three straight clean sheets, and five points clear of Marseille for a Champions League spot. Dominik Greif’s nine clean sheets is joint-best in the league alongside PSG’s keeper.

Strasbourg, though, are no pushovers at home. They’ve won their last two home fixtures against Lyon — including a convincing 4-2 victory in this exact fixture last season — and their habit of scoring late (six goals after the 75th minute this season) makes them dangerous until the final whistle.

## Prediction

Lyon’s momentum is almost impossible to ignore, but Strasbourg’s home record against Les Gones and their trademark late-game resilience gives them a genuine shot at halting the streak. Expect a tight, competitive contest where Lyon’s quality edges them a point at worst.

**Prediction: Strasbourg 1–1 Lyon**
