Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest we don't have an obvious winner here, but good reason to think Young Boys and Lyon will score at least a couple of goals between them. We've seen goals when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Giorgio Contini or Paulo Alexandre Rodrigues Fonseca has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s of late either. The bookies predict over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.20 equating to roughly a 81% probability.

Goal Statistics

Lyon's defensive record is very strong, P. Rodrigues Fonseca's men having conceded 1 or less in 6 consecutive Europa League matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.1 for BSC Young Boys makes sense in this context.

BSC Young Boys have been awful at the back of late, conceding 2 or more goals in 3 consecutive Europa League games. This run could continue, with Lyon's PG an impressive 2.0.
