In the last match, they drew away to Nantes by (0-0).

In 18 games in this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have never managed to turn the score around.
Olympique Lyon enters this round after a 0-0 draw in their trip to Nantes. The home team is expected to play in a 4-3-3 tactical system, with the goal of trying to take advantage of counter attacks. It should be noted that in this design, the three men who will play a more offensive role will be Karl Toko Ekambi, Tetê, and Alexandre Lacazette. Therefore, Lyon is expected to adopt a more offensive posture, always paying attention to the space that the opponent will give in the back of their defense. Coach Laurent Blanc will miss Houssem Aouar due to physical problems.
The visiting team is currently in 19th place with 12 points earned after 1 win, 9 draws and 8 losses. In the penultimate match, it lost at home to Troyes by (2-3). In the last match, it drew at home to Lens by (2-2). This is a team that curiously presents more positive results away than at home, since in the last 30 matches it registers 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses as a visitor, with a total of 20 goals scored and 24 conceded. At home, on the other hand, they have 2 wins, 8 draws, and 5 losses, with a total of 18 goals scored and 24 conceded. In the league, Strasbourg have won 6 points out of a possible 24, after 1 win, 3 draws and 4 losses in the last 8 games they played as visitors. In their league games as visitors the most frequent result at half-time has been 1-0 (5 in 8 games). The team has not been very strong defensively, as it has always conceded goals in the last 10 games, but its attack has scored with regularity, as it has managed to score in 9 of the last 10 games in this competition. This is a team that scores few times first: it has only opened the scoring in 4 of its last 18 games for Ligue 1, of those 4 it reached halftime in advantage in 3 and won at the end of the 90′ in 1. In 18 games in this competition, it has conceded the first goal 13 times and never managed to turn the score around. In the last 10 away games for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: it has conceded 6 of its 15 goals between the minutes (31′-45′).
Strasbourg come into this match after a draw, 2-2, in the reception of Lens: the team’s goals were signed by Kévin Gameiro and Sanjin Prcic. Contrary to the “enemy” of this round, the visiting club usually plays a 5-3-2, giving more priority to an interior game, using several triangulations for progression on the field. In this design, the two most advanced men in this team are Kévin Gameiro and Ludovic Ajorque. Coach Mathieu Le Scornet can count on all his players.
