Betting Predictions
Lyon hosts Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday in the Europa League, a recent meeting between two of the most successful teams in Europe’s top five divisions.
Both teams are favored to advance straight to the knockout stage’s round of 16 going into their first-ever encounter in the top eight of the league phase.
Head-to-Head
Lyon is cruising through Ligue 1 after easily defeating Angers 3-0 over the weekend. Die Adler had won four straight in the Europa League, while Eintracht Frankfurt lost two points after a 2-2 draw with Augsburg at home over the weekend. Since Lyon and Eintracht Frankfurt have never faced each other, Thursday’s match at the Groupama Stadium will be historic for both teams.
Team News
Benrahma sustained a thigh injury and will miss Lyon’s upcoming games, just as Sage welcomed Wilfried Zaha back from injury over the weekend by substituting in late in the victory over Angers.
In addition, Gift Orban has been sidelined for the past five games due to injury. As a result, Sage selected Alexandre Lacazette, Malick Fofana, and Rayan Cherki as his starting front three against Angers for the first time in four games, and it paid off in a resounding victory.
Due to a muscular injury, Frankfurt will be missing key young midfielder Hugo Larsson for the upcoming games, joining Aurele Amenda on the sidelines.
Oscar Hojlund has just returned after missing four months due to a broken ankle, but his playing time has been limited to three substitute appearances.
Omar Marmoush will be the guy to watch since he has contributed to more Europa League goals than any other player this season (five), bringing him one step closer to surpassing Mohamed Salah’s record as the best Egyptian player in the league, who scored five goals and provided three assists last season.

Verdict
Tip Draw❌
Reason
Given that Lyon has only lost once in 14 games and Frankfurt has only lost twice in 19, it is difficult to separate two of the best teams in Europe right now. The outcome of this match could be decided by a straight shootout between Lacazette and Marmoush, who have both excelled in the final third for their respective clubs.

Tip: BTTS (YES)✅
Reason
In the French top division, Lyon maintained a clean sheet against Angers last weekend, although they have scored goals consistently this year. Indeed, in their last eight games across all competitions, Pierre Sage’s team has scored at least one goal. At the present, Eintracht Frankfurt is also enjoying themselves when it comes to scoring goals. The German team finished each of the last four games with more than 2.5 goals, and they have scored in all but one of their last nine games.
