L1 (J31): All about Strasbourg

Installed in the top 4, Strasbourg no longer intends to abandon its European ambitions at the end of the season. Racing welcomes OL, which for its part no longer has the right to make mistakes if it wants to maintain a tiny hope of finishing European. Six points separate the two teams while the Gones are 9th in the standings. One of the important moments of this end of the season.

The stats you need to know (with Opta)

Strasbourg has won only one of its last 21 meetings with Lyon in Ligue 1 (2 draws, 18 defeats), it was May 12, 2018 (3-2 at home). The RCSA has not kept a clean sheet against this opponent in the elite since September 25, 1999 (0-0 away).

Strasbourg have lost 6 games against Lyon in Ligue 1 since rising to the top flight in 2017/18, more than against any other opponents over the period.

Strasbourg is the team with the most points (25), the fewest defeats (1) and the most clean sheets (8) in Ligue 1 in 2022.

Against Angers last weekend (3-2), Lyon won a Ligue 1 match despite at least 2 goals conceded for the first time in the top flight since May 2021 (5-2 in Nîmes). OL have conceded 39 goals after 30 L1 2021/22 matches, their highest tally at this stage of a season in the top flight since 1996/97 (44).

Strasbourg remains on 4 clean sheets at home in Ligue 1 (3 wins, 1 draw), co-longest current series with Lille, but has not made the pass of 5 in the elite since October-December 1993 (5 ).

No team has played more Brazilian players in Ligue 1 in the 21st century than Lyon (21, tied with Paris). Over the period, the only team to have fielded more players of the same nationality (excluding French) is Metz and its 23 Senegalese.
