Lyon vs FCSB Predictions

• Over 2.5 goals has landed in five of Lyon’s last six competitive games.
• Lyon have scored exactly two goals in three of their last four fixtures.

Goals expected at the Groupama Stadium

A late brace from substitute Malick Fofana put Lyon 3-1 up in the first leg of this tie, and we’re expecting another high-scoring affair at the Groupama Stadium on Thursday.

Lyon were deserved winners in Bucharest, but FCSB put in a good shift and should be able to contribute to the scoresheet on Thursday, with the Romanians scoring in seven of their last eight competitive games and in four of their last five Europa League fixtures.

Lyon followed their first-leg win with a 2-0 victory in Nice to make it five wins from their last six games, and that trip to Nice on Sunday is the only fixture in this run that has not produced at least three goals.

The hosts’ last three home games have averaged four goals per game, and backing over 2.5 goals appeals at the Groupama Stadium. I do expect Lyon to get another win, and a 2-1 correct score prediction looks solid.

Lyon have scored exactly twice in three of their last four games and FCSB’s last five away games have seen them average exactly one goal per game.
