Lyon vs Strasbourg Preview: Lyon Looking to Kickstart Their Season After Shock Defeat to Reims

Ligue 1 teams Lyon and Strasbourg are back in action tonight as they meet at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais stadium. Strasbourg has picked up four points in their first two games of the season, whilst Lyon surprisingly lost to newly promoted Reims in their last match, leaving them with three points so far this season.

Team news

Manchester City defender Jason Denayer moved to Lyon this week and he could be in line to make his debut. He spent last season at loan at Galatasaray after he was unable to break into the City team. Nabil Fekir is yet to feature after being part of the World Cup winning France team and he could make his comeback in this game after his move to Liverpool fell through. Lyon is without long-term absentee Amine Gouiri and Fernando Marcal is also likely to be out.

Jason Denayer Lyon

Strasbourg comes into the game happy with their efforts so far this season and new signings this summer Matz Sels and Stefan Mitrovic look to have settled in well and bring some experience into the squad. Fans will be hoping that Strasbourg are able to stay away from the relegation battle this season and a result at Lyon will go a long way to helping the cause. New signings Adrien Thomasson and Ludovic Ajorque are unlikely to be named in the team.

Head to head results

The same match last season finished a convincing 4-0 to Lyon. The last match between the two teams ended in a 3-2 victory to Strasbourg back in May. Lyon has not lost at home to Strasbourg since 1979.
