A must-win game for the leaders!
The Europa League leaders are visiting Lyon to face G.A. Eagles, and Wettbasis has a tip for you. The home team is at the top of the rankings with four wins and one defeat.
Now, from the “Gones’” point of view, the next three points should follow, and the opponent seems to be well-suited for this. The visiting players from Deventer have been waiting for points and goals for two rounds! Most recently, they suffered a 0-4 defeat against Stuttgart.
The sixth-placed team from last season’s Ligue 1 can also count on home advantage: in front of their own fans, the men from the Groupama Stadium have not dropped any points in two games and have kept a clean sheet every time.
Given this situation, the Lyon vs. G.A. Eagles odds for a home win to nil are worth recommending. In addition, we expect more than two goals from the home side, as the visitors’ defense has been very vulnerable, conceding an average of three goals in their last two games.
We also believe Corentin Tolisso will score a goal for OL. The former Bayern player has been particularly comfortable on the European stage this season, scoring five times for the French side in his last four EL games, including a hat trick in the last game against Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Lyon – G.A. Eagles Head-to-head record / H2H record
Lyon and “Kowet” have not met each other yet. However, the French have already beaten a Dutch team this season, winning 2-0 against Utrecht on Matchday 1. Moreover, teams from Holland have been winless in their last six Europa League games against French teams (0-3-3) since Ajax’s 2-1 win over Lille in February 2021.
The bookmakers now expect this streak to continue, as the odds for Lyon vs. G.A. Eagles clearly favor the home side. You can place your bets at Bet-at-home, including via the mobile app.
Lyon – G.A. Eagles Tip
Lyon is fifth in the domestic Ligue 1 and has room for improvement. Things are going even better in the Europa League this season: Coach Paulo Fonseca’s team has won four of five games, and only FC Midtjylland (12) has scored more goals than Lyon (11).
The 6-0 win against Maccabi Tel Aviv on matchday 5 was the club’s highest victory in a European competition without conceding a goal since the 7-0 rout of Red Boys Differdange in the 1974 UEFA Cup. The hosts are also impressive from a defensive perspective.
They have conceded just two goals, the best record in the Europa League, and have kept four clean sheets. They are also the only team not to have conceded a goal after the break!
In contrast, the Dutch cup winners have been waiting for points and goals for two EL games. At the same time, the Eagles are not playing very defensively.
The four-time Dutch champions have conceded the most shots (96) and the most shots on goal (39) in this year’s Europa League, while also allowing the most touches by their opponents in their own penalty area (183). In light of this situation, the Lyon vs. G.A. Eagles betting odds for another win for the hosts without conceding a goal seem recommendable.
