Lyon vs Sparta Prague Predictions

• Lyon have scored at least two goals in their last four Europa League matches.
• Both teams have found the back of the net in four of the home sides’ last five games.
• Sparta Prague have scored first in all of their previous 10 matches and are unbeaten in their last three.

Ruthless Lyon likely to dominate

The hosts come into this one with the knowledge that if they secure victory here, they will reach the knockout stages. It looks likely as they’re a machine in front of goal in this competition and are scoring an average of three goals per game so far. They’ve shown plenty of improvement after a tough start to the season, there is also the positive omen that they have never lost to a Czech side on home soil. They beat the visitors 4-3 last month and will be confident of brushing them aside once again.

Sparta Prague have it all to do in the Europa League but they are unbeaten in the three games they have played since that previous loss to Lyon and are in the middle of a four-way battle at the top of the Czech Liga. The knockouts are still a strong possibility but if they are to do so, they’ll need to improve their away record as they have won just one of their last nine away Europa League matches.

End-to-end action in France

We’re expecting both sides to go for the kill here and given Lyon have been frighteningly good in front of goal of late, an exciting matchup should be on the cards with both teams also hitting the back of the net. Expect an enthralling game with plenty of goals on offer.
