Best Tip: Lyon to win

As training goes on this week and the Lyon players prepare themselves for this match, the bookmakers have predicted success for them. The odds and our pre-match stats below suggest the same, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) information we factor into our predictive algorithms. The Groupama Stadium has rarely been an easy place to go for GA Eagles in the past, and we expect more of the same come Thursday night. A win / draw / win home win is the bet.
