My Prediction
Olympique Lyonnais by 1Stepping into the ring we have Olympique Lyonnais and Strasbourg, two rivals with history.
In the lion's den is Lucas Perri, goalkeeper for Olympique Lyonnais with a 7.03 rating making 14 saves. On the other side, we have a guy who makes grabbing a comet seem effortless, Đorđe Petrović for Strasbourg who's standing strong with a 7.75 rating and 15 saves in the bag.
Let's not forget the the top players for Lyonnais, we have the trifecta who seem to be allergic to missing the goal, Georges Mikautadze with one goal to his name, Rayan Cherki bagging two goals and Thiago Almada, netting one goal. And on the blue side, we have Andrey Santos, the bloke with the golden foot and Félix Lemaréchal who's netted two goals.
Now let's dive into historical rivalries and this one's got some meat on the bones. Recent past matchups sway towards Lyonnais, handing them 3 wins compared to Strasbourg's 2. But history doesn't play the game.
Looking at regular season records, these teams have been dancing cheek to cheek. Olympique Lyonnais holding a dancing card of 13-6-7 and Strasbourg not much behind with a 12-7-7 score.
Recent results show both teams on a hot streak like a jalapeno in a volcano. Lyonnais seems more threatening with their arsenal seeing off Le Havre, Nice, and Stade Brestois. Strasbourg, on the other hand, has stealthily sneaked in victories against Toulouse, Nantes, and Auxerre.
So, if I was to wager my reputation on this; weighing every stat, history and astrological alignment:
