Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Lyon Predictions

• Tel Aviv conceding on average two goals a game in this competition
• Lyon have picked up nine out of a possible twelve points
• Tel Aviv have just one point in four games

Lyon to show class against Tel Aviv

Maccabi Tel Aviv host Lyon in this Europa League matchup, although not at their home ground, as their Europa League games are being played in Serbia at the TSC Stadium. The two teams are experiencing contrasting form in this competition, with Lyon 7th on nine points, winning three of their four games, while Tel Aviv have just the one point, conceding on average two goals a game.

Lyon are actually going through a bit of a rough patch, failing to win any of their last five games, drawing three of them. However, they face much stronger opposition in the French league, and Tel Aviv are a side they will expect to beat. Maccabi’s only point in the Europa League came in a 0-0 draw vs PAOK, and they have since lost to Dinamo Zagreb, Aston Villa and FC Midtjylland, sides that Lyon would expect to perform well against.

Despite not being in the best form, Lyon should be able to beat Tel Aviv comfortably here on neutral ground. They’ve scored two in two of their last five, and with Tel Aviv struggling to stop conceding in this competition, Lyon should be able to take full advantage and win this while scoring at least two.
