Ligue 1’s Matchday 23 finale serves up a mouth-watering clash as Strasbourg host a red-hot Lyon at Stade de la Meinau this Sunday. Gary O’Neil’s side are scrapping for a European spot, while Paulo Fonseca’s Lyon arrive on a jaw-dropping 13-game winning streak without dropping a single point in 2026. Something has to give — and Strasbourg’s famous home resilience might just be the force that slows Les Gones down.

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
