Lyon vs Manchester United Predictions

• Lyon have won eight of their last ten matches
• Manchester United have only been victorious in three of their last ten outings
• Ten of Lyon’s last 11 games have gone over 2.5 goals

Lyon in fine form

Lyon have won eight of their last ten games in all competitions and are fancied to continue that good run when they host Manchester United in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final.

The French side have netted 29 times in those ten outings while the Red Devils have scored 15 times in their last ten matches.

Ruben Amorim’s men have won three games in that spell and they have come against Leicester, Ipswich and a Real Sociedad side who had been reduced to ten men.

The visitors have had better results in Europe than domestically but an away trip to take on Lyon is undoubtedly the toughest assignment they have faced in this competition this season.

Red Devils struggling

The hosts are just four points off second spot in Ligue 1 and have a team littered with attacking talent, including Thiago Almada, Rayan Cherki and Georges Mikautadze.

Manchester United may struggle to contain those players and their own attacking options are much less threatening.

Amorim has tightened things up at the back but their struggles in front of goal may rear their head once again here and Paolo Fonseca’s men are fancied to take a first-leg lead from this clash at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais.

Ten of the home team’s last 11 games have gone over 2.5 goals and a repeat of that looks likely in this one, side with a 2-1 win for Lyon.

Georges Mikautadze has netted six times in the last five matches for club and country and looks a solid bet to get on the scoresheet again here.
