Lyon vs BesiktasPreview
Lyon
Ligue 1 giants Lyon have made a dominant start to the Europa League campaign after winning each of their opening two.
Their start to the European campaign only enhances their solid record in the Europa League, as they have now lost just once in their last 26 matches in this stage of the competition. Notably, Lyon are undefeated in their last 13 home matches in this stage of the competition, which bodes well for their upcoming fixtures.
Their xG in domestic matches this term has been eye-catching after registering 12.80 and scoring eleven times from 82 shots from open play.
Besiktas
The Turkish visitors will be under increased pressure this week. Although they sit in second place in the domestic league, five points behind leader Galatasary, their overall record in the Europa League this term will make them the outsiders in the upcoming clash with Lyon.
Besiktas have suffered successive defeats in the UEL to sit bottom of the standings, conceding seven times and netting just once. Unfortunately, their struggles in the competition are not new, as their poor run extends beyond this season.
The Turkish club has lost eight of their last nine matches in the Europa League, with a particularly dismal away record. In their last four road games, they have been beaten by an aggregate score of 15-3, underlining their defensive frailties and inability to compete effectively on foreign soil.

Lyon boasts a dominant home record in the competition, while the Turkish visitors have struggled for wins on the road in the Europa League in recent memory.

Bet hereLyon vs Besiktas Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Alexandre Lacazette To Score
- Odds: 2.25 (22Bet)
Alexandre Lacazette has been the standout player for Lyon this term, and his record in the Europa League is well worth considering when making a bet on the goalscorer market.
Only four players have scored more frequently than Lacazette in the competition since its rebrand, with the striker netting 24 in total. That includes a brace in Lyon’s matchday two win over Rangers.
