Lyon, still searching for their first points of the season, will take on Strasbourg at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais on Friday in a crucial matchday three encounter of the 2024-25 Ligue 1 season. After two disappointing defeats without scoring a single goal, Lyon will be eager to turn their fortunes around, while Strasbourg comes into the match unbeaten with a win and a draw from their opening two games.

Lyon entered this season with high expectations, especially after a remarkable turnaround last season under Pierre Sage, who guided them from the bottom of the table to a sixth-place finish. Despite spending over £100 million in the summer transfer window, Lyon has struggled to find their rhythm, suffering a 3-0 defeat to Rennes followed by a 2-0 loss at home to AS Monaco. Currently sitting in 17th place, Sage will be desperate to avoid a repeat of last season's poor start, where Lyon took just three points from their first nine games, the worst in the club's history.

Strasbourg, on the other hand, has had a positive start under new manager Liam Rosenior, who replaced Patrick Vieira in the summer. After a 1-1 draw against Montpellier and a convincing 3-1 victory over Rennes, Strasbourg is in good form and will look to maintain their unbeaten run. Rosenior's task will be to keep the momentum going, especially after the club's disappointing end to last season and a winless pre-season.

Lyon may have to cope without Ernest Nuamah, who was injured early in the defeat to Monaco, and Nicolas Tagliafico, who is sidelined with a calf injury. Sage will likely rely on new signing Georges Mikautadze and Alexandre Lacazette to provide the goals, while Nemanja Matic could return to strengthen the midfield.

Strasbourg will be without Milos Lukovic, Dion Sahi, and Thomas Delaine, who are expected to return in September. Rosenior might stick with the starting lineup that secured the 3-1 win against Rennes, hoping for a similar outcome against Lyon.

Despite their struggles, Lyon has enough quality to challenge Strasbourg.

里昂仍在努力争取本赛季首分，他们将于周五在里昂奥林匹克公园球场迎战斯特拉斯堡，这是2024-25赛季法甲联赛关键的第三场比赛。在经历了两场令人失望的失利却一球未进之后，里昂将迫切希望扭转他们的命运，而斯特拉斯堡则以两场比赛的一胜一平保持不败。

里昂带着很高的期望进入了新赛季，尤其是在上赛季皮埃尔·塞奇带领他们从积分榜垫底上升到第六名之后。尽管在夏季转会窗口花费了超过1亿英镑，但里昂一直在努力寻找自己的节奏，先是0比3输给雷恩，然后在主场0比2输给摩纳哥。目前排名第17位，萨奇将竭尽全力避免上赛季糟糕的开局重演，上赛季里昂在前9场比赛中只拿到3分，这是俱乐部历史上最差的开局。

另一方面，斯特拉斯堡在夏天接替维埃拉的新教练利亚姆·罗西尔的带领下有了一个积极的开始。在1-1战平蒙彼利埃和3-1大胜雷恩之后，斯特拉斯堡的状态很好，他们希望能保持不败。罗西尔的任务是保持球队的势头，尤其是在经历了上赛季令人失望的结局和一场未赢的季前赛之后。

里昂可能不得不面对在输给摩纳哥的比赛中受伤的努阿马，以及因小腿受伤缺阵的塔利亚菲科。萨奇很可能会依靠新签下的米库塔泽和拉卡泽特来提供进球，而马蒂奇可能会回来加强中场。

斯特拉斯堡将失去米洛斯·卢科维奇、迪翁·萨希和托马斯·德莱恩，他们预计将在9月份回归。罗希尔可能会继续使用3-1战胜雷恩的首发阵容，希望在对阵里昂的比赛中也能有类似的结果。

尽管他们处境艰难，但里昂有足够的实力挑战斯特拉斯堡。
