The first showed sparkling form at the start of the season but has struggled to confirm since. The other forms a team that is lovely to watch and very successful in recent weeks. Lyon (5th) and Strasbourg (3rd) face each other this Sunday October 26 at 8:45 p.m. for the close of the 9th Day of Ligue 1.
Still deprived of Paulo Fonseca on the bench, the Lyonnais have nevertheless made an excellent start to the Ligue 1 season. Once tied leaders with PSG, the Rhodaniens have recently been in more difficulty with two consecutive defeats against Toulouse (1-2) and Nice (3-2). Their victory in the Europa League (2-0) this week and their perfect campaign so far must nevertheless have given the partners of an excellent Corentin Tolisso a good dose of confidence.
A confidence that the people of Strasbourg do not lack! Despite a small clash and this draw against Jagiellonia (1-1) in the Europa Conference League, Liam Rosenior’s men are in good shape. The draw (3-3) in Paris last weekend, as well as the 5-0 victories against Angers and 1-2 in Bratislava confirmed the good things undertaken since the start of the season. Note that the top scorer in the championship is Strasbourg: Joaquín Panichelli (7 goals).
The final poster of this 9th Day of Ligue 1 will kick off at 8:45 p.m. this Sunday evening at Parc OL. The meeting will be followed on Ligue 1 +.
