Olympique Lyonnais - Strasbourg betting tips and odds

It’s easy to point out Olympique Lyonnais as the clear favourites, but we wouldn’t call this match completely one-sided. The hosts are definitely more likely to win between the two, but a tie game is another possibility. An away win would be quite a surprise, but we’ve seen bigger upsets.

From the present standpoint, the situation is clear as day. Considering the strength of Olympique Lyonnais and the 5.50 odds given to Strasbourg to win, it is easy to conclude that a victory for the visiting team would be a surprising upset.

Olympique Lyonnais supporters had reasons to feel optimistic last round even though the team was playing away, but that game didn’t quite pan out. The two teams were tied at both halftime and the final whistle, marking a rather unremarkable 0:0 draw.

Strasbourg are coming off of a minor success, relatively speaking. They secured a 2:2 draw against Lens, who were tagged as hard favourites going in, but never managed to pull ahead.

Olympique Lyonnais’s past two matches only feature a goal or less each. As such, you may want to consider an Under 2.5 bet – or even Under 1.5, if you’re feeling confident.

Maintaining their defences has been a bit of a struggle for Strasbourg lately. They ended up conceding 5 goals over the 3 most recent matches alone, leaving many fans disappointed.

Earning the 0 points needed to get out of the relegation zone is paramount for Strasbourg, but doing so will be quite the challenge. Although there’s close to half the season yet to be played, they’re facing very unfavourable odds this Saturday.

The recent history of this matchup reveals a good part of why the hosts are considered the favourites. A quick look at the stats shows a decisive victory over Strasbourg. The most recent clash between the two squads is from last season, though.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Henrique, Malo Gusto, Corentin Tolisso are all sidelined due to injury, which makes Olympique Lyonnais’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

The risks involved in backing a BTTS bet for this match are minimal. Both Olympique Lyonnais and Strasbourg have a history of confirming the market so the 1 odds offered at 10Bet is too good to pass up.
