Lyon crushes everything in its path
JEAN-CHRISTOPHE VERHAEGEN / EPI
Since the arrival of Pierre Sage, the Lyonnais have won 10 times in 14 matches with their new coach. OL’s comeback is already underway, and with their new recruits, they are achieving much better than the expected maintenance after the disastrous start to the season. Les Gones are now 10th, 8 points behind the top European places, and still involved in the Coupe de France. So if they go through to the end of the competition, they could have another way to reach Europe. Olympique Lyonnais has nothing left to lose and can therefore win the bet if they continue this way.

Strasbourg is at a standstill
SEBASTIEN BOZON / AFP
While they had managed a good series of 8 matches without losing, Racing fell and conceded 4 defeats in a row, during which they conceded 11 goals. This weekend, Strasbourg had a non-match against Brest and allowed themselves to be manhandled from the first to the 90th minute. Which leads them to 13th place, 3 small points from the red zone. Patrick Vieira demanded a reaction from his players. And it could start this evening in a competition that smiled on them, since they qualified 4-0 against Chinon, then 3-1 in Clermont, and 3-1 against Le Havre. So why not a revolt this evening at Groupama Stadium.
