Lyon vs Go Ahead Eagles Predictions

• Lyon lead the way in the league phase after five games.
• Go Ahead Eagles have three defeats in five games.
• Both teams have scored in four of the visitors’ last five games.

GAE can strike at Lyon

Lyon go into the latest round of Europa League fixtures at the top of the pile and they should have too much for Dutch visitors Go Ahead Eagles on Thursday.

GAE beat Panthinaikos and then stunned Aston Villa in the early stages of the league phase but have since suffered back-to-back defeats to Salzburg and Stuttgart.

Les Gones are a level or two above their opponents and Lyon are the heavy favourites to win, so the value option here could be taking a chance on Kowet to strike in defeat,

Lyon have conceded in three of their last five home games and they slipped to a surprise 1-0 loss at Lorient last time out. Meanwhile, Go Ahead sit outside the play-off spots so they need to show some fight in France and they are in solid scoring form with eight goals in total across their last five games.

Ultimately, Lyon’s class should tell and they can still win fairly comfortably so a 3-1 home win has a chance, as they have scored more than once in four consecutive home games.
