Strasbourg vs Lyon prediction 22.02.2026 | Ligue 1

Strasbourg enter this game seated seventh in Ligue 1. Recent form has been mixed: they drew 2-2 away against Marseille in their latest league fixture and lost 2-1 at Le Havre, underscoring results that have seen Strasbourg fluctuate between solid displays and struggles to maintain intensity. As of now, they are winless in their last three Ligue 1 outings.

Strasbourg’s matches this season have tended toward goal-rich affairs - over 2.5 goals have featured in three-quarters of all games and both teams scoring (BTTS) in around 65% of matches, indicating a propensity to both score and concede.

In terms of personnel, available sources suggest some fitness concerns across key players, including thigh and hamstring issues for influential attackers like Mamadou Sarr and Emanuel Emegha. On top of that, Ismael Doukoure continues to serve his suspension after being sent off in a 2-1 defeat to Le Havre.

Lyon arrive in a stronger league position and with noticeable momentum. They are enjoying one of the best runs in Europe at the moment, with recent reports noting up to 13 consecutive victories across all competitions - an impressive streak that includes a 2-0 league win over Nice with key contributions from Tolisso and Nartey. 

Their form in Ligue 1 has been immaculate in recent weeks, with seven successive wins propelling them back into contention for the league title. More importantly, three of those victories have come away from home - a significant improvement after a prolonged five-match winless run on the road.

One of Lyon’s most impactful stories this season has been the emergence of Brazilian youngster Endrick, who netted a hat-trick in a 5-2 win at Metz, showcasing Lyon’s offensive potential around him and teammates like Tolisso.
