Ajax vs Lyon Predictions, Betting Tips, Match Previews

Ajax are eyeing to make the final of a UEFA competition for the first time since 1996. UEFA Cup winners in 1991/92 and Champions League winners in 1994/95 show a rich history of football in Europe and the Dutch outfit are the only team to have entered all eight editions of the Europa League.

Lyon are making a European semi-final for the first time since their 2009/10 UEFA Champions League campaign, where they were knocked out by Bayern Munich.

Ajax are a tough team to beat while playing in front of their home fans in fact, they have a 100% win record at home in this season’s Europa League – and six out of six wins and five clean sheets during the period talk for itself. Being vulnerable in away trips is a strong reason for them to come out strong in the first leg.

Lyon are not an easy opponent, they have scored in 5 of their 6 European away matches this season, but the French side may fall short here given Ajax’s form.
