Odds

Event Preview

Man United were made to suffer due to goalkeeping errors in France last week, as they threw away a late lead to play out a 2-2 draw. It was one of the better United performances in recent weeks, but Onana’s performance ultimately cost United an advantage, and potentially having one foot in the final four.

The Red Devils have played host to Lyon in Europe on two previous occasions, winning 2-1 in November 2004, and landing a 1-0 success in March 2008. Lyon have suffered just a single defeat in their last nine away matches in England, with that loss coming at West Ham in the Europa League in 2021-22.

United have suffered defeats in their last two home matches against French sides, with both losses coming at the hands of PSG in the Champions League. Prior to those defeats, United had avoided defeat in 14 straight home matches against French sides.

Lyon have been clinical on the road in recent weeks, as they have gone 12 without defeat in Europe. Over that period, they have recorded nine wins and played out three draws. Their last away defeat in the Europa League was suffered against Atalanta in December 2017.

Man United vs. Lyon Picks

United should be ahead in this tie, but a draw last week ensures that they remain eleven without loss in the Europa League this season. The Red Devils should have enough quality to get over the line and keep their hopes of silverware alive.
