Reinvigorated by a consistent winter transfer window, Olympique Lyonnais, in distress in the first part of the season, is back in business. The Lyonnais host Strasbourg this Tuesday evening at Groupama Stadium, for the first quarter-final of the Coupe de France.
Pierre Sage’s men, winners in Metz this weekend in Ligue 1 (1-2), are unstoppable in February. They are riding a great series of five consecutive victories in five matches in all competitions. Loser of LOSC in the previous round (2-1), the Rhone residents could well play spoilsport in this edition, where the remaining big names are PSG, Nice and Rennes. A Cup which, we remind you, could offer him an unexpected European exit in the Europa League in the event of a final victory.
Patrick Vieira’s Strasbourg side have only had one bright spot this month, their quarter-final qualification obtained at the expense of Le Havre (3-1). Struggling in the league (four defeats in a row, 13th just three points behind Lorient, 16th), the Alsatians hope to take advantage of the Cup to find a little smile again.
The match between Lyon and Strasbourg is scheduled to kick off at 8:45 p.m. this Tuesday, February 27. The match will be broadcast live on beIN Sports 1.
