Lyon vs Man United Prediction
- Lyon made it six wins from their last seven with a hard-fought 2-1 home triumph over Lille at the weekend as they continue their solid form under Paulo Fonseca.
- Their only defeat in their last 13 at Parc OL came by a single goal against champions PSG in February, and they'll look to maximise home advantage this week.
- A 0-0 draw with rivals Manchester City on Sunday means Manchester United have failed to win five of their last seven in all competitions.
- Saying that, United have been solid in the Europa League this season, having won six of their last seven in the competition as they look to maintain their unbeaten European campaign.
- Lyon have been excellent in attack but shaky at the back under Fonseca, and fans may just witness a goal-fest at Parc OL on Thursday night.
Score Prediction: Lyon 3-2 Man United

Lyon vs Man United Bet Builder Tips
Our Bet Builder Tips features Rayan Cherki to Assist, Over 2.5 Goals & Manuel Ugarte to Commit 2+ Fouls.
At the time of publishing it is a best price of 13/2 with bet365.
- Cherki is Lyon’s creative hub, with 10 goal contributions (2 goals, 8 assists) in 10 Europa League appearances this season. His eight assists tie a single-season record, and he’s coming off a match-winning goal against Lille. Facing a United defense that’s conceded in most away games, he’s a strong candidate to impact the scoresheet.
- Lyon's recent home matches have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals landing in their last six at the Groupama Stadium. Manchester United’s Europa League away games this season average 3.35 goals, and with Lyon’s attacking output (2.02 xGF per game at home since November), this game has the potential to exceed 2.5 goals.
- Ugarte has been a card magnet for United, averaging 2.23 fouls per 90 minutes in all comps and racking up 11 yellows in 25 90 minutes starts. In a physical midfield battle against Lyon’s dynamic players like Corentin Tolisso and Nemanja Matic, he’s likely to exceed this mark.
