Lyon vs Strasbourg
French Ligue 1, Friday, 2:45pm ET

Play: Both Teams to Score
Odds at Time of Release: -129
Line Parameter: Playable to -140

Lyon have started the season in a bad manner, losing both matches to Rennes (3-0 on the road) and Monaco (2-0 at home). They haven't failed to score in the first 3 matches of the season since 1992/93, and they were great after the change in coach last season, so I do expect them to score on Friday against Strasbourg. However, I can't say I am intrigued by the odds on Lyon, as t hey are -140 favourites, the draw is at +295 and Strasbourg are +370 underdogs, with the Asian Spread set at 0.75 and the Asian Total set at 2.75 Goals. 

Right off the bat, -140 home favourites in France are the easiest to break, we've seen -140 favourites not winning all the time. Can Lyon win? Sure. They are under a lot of pressure right now, but we are not going to bet on these odds. But this does look like goals. 

Strasbourg are one of the mid-tier teams that actually spent some money to improve their squad and they have the ambition of a top-half finish this season. They have 4 points after two matches, starting off with a 1-1 draw at Montpellier and then they blasted Rennes by 3-1 at home. A draw here wouldn't be a bad result for Strasbourg right before the international break, and they definitely have the quality to score against Lyon. 

Historically, this is a match-up that favours goals, with a whopping 10-1 run to the Both Teams to Score in L/11 league matches between the two (and 6-0 in L/6), while 4 of L/5 H2H matches in this venue had Both Teams to Score.
