Team analysis: Lyon
Lyon went into this match with high confidence, thanks to a string of excellent results in recent weeks. Under the leadership of coach Pierre Sage, the club managed to ignore off-field problems and focus on achieving goals on the field. Their last three games ended in convincing wins by three goals each, including an impressive 3-0 win against Angers. This series of victories has brought Lyon just one point behind the Champions League spot through the domestic championship, which is an additional motivation for the team.
The offensive trio of Alexandre Lacazette, Malik Fofana and Ryan Sherky is showing enviable form. Lacazette, an experienced team leader, keeps the team in the game with his goals and assists, while Fofana and Sherky bring youthful energy and speed. Wilfried Zaha’s return to the field is also a significant boost, although Said Benrahma will miss a few more matches due to injury.
However, one of the challenges for Lyon is their history against German clubs in European competitions. The team managed to win only once in the last six meetings, while two of the last three home matches in the Europa League ended in defeat. This statistic indicates the need for additional concentration, especially in key moments of the game.
Team analysis: Eintracht Frankfurt
Eintracht Frankfurt is one of the most consistent teams in the Europa League this season. With 13 out of a possible 15 points, they are at the top of the group stage table, which confirms their seriousness in this competition. Frankfurt have an extremely attacking game, led by Omar Marmoush, who has been involved in five of his team’s goals so far, closing in on the record for an Egyptian player in this competition.
However, Frankfurt has shown weaknesses in recent games. A 3-0 defeat by Leipzig in the DFB-Pokal marked the end of their seven-game winning streak, while they drew 2-2 with Augsburg in the Bundesliga despite taking a second-half lead. Those results point to possible problems with the mentality of the team in key moments.
However, Frankfurt has an impressive record against French clubs – they have won the last six meetings, and the last defeat against the French team dates back to 1980. It certainly gives them an additional psychological advantage before this duel.
Betting suggestion: Lyon to win (1)
Lyon is currently in exceptional form and has the advantage of the home field, which is crucial in such matches. Although Frankfurt possess quality and historical success against French teams, their current form suggests some uncertainty. Given the importance of the game for the home team and their progress in recent games, our betting suggestion is a win for Lyon (1).
