Lyon vs Olympiacos FC Preview

Lyon

We have seen a disastrous Lyon at the start of this season. Despite securing a victory in a high-scoring encounter against Strasbourg, the team’s overall display has drawn significant criticism.

Lyon lost three of their five opening matches, and the last game against Marseille was a complete failure. They played with a man-advantage for almost 90 minutes but eventually succumbed to a 3-2 defeat. The defensive line has been particularly porous, riddled with basic errors that have cost them dearly.

Identifying clear strengths in Lyon’s current setup is challenging. Most the team’s key players are not in the best shape right now. Georges Mikautadze has yet to score his first goal and so far he failed to adapt to the team. 

Olympiacos FC

The current Conference League winners will aim to repeat their success. The campaign started promisingly with three consecutive victories, but recent matches against Panetolikos and Aris saw them drop crucial points, indicating that their form is less than stellar.

As for competitive advantages over Lyon, we can note the teamwork and attacking style. Ayoub El Kaabi remains a pivotal figure in this setup. Last season, he scored 33 goals in all tournaments – a third of which came in European fixtures – and has already tallied four goals in the first five matches of this season.

Georgios Masouras, another key component of the Olympiacos attack, continues his recovery from an injury sustained in August and remains sidelined. Panagiotis Retsos is close to returning, but he is also unlikely to feature.

Lyon vs Olympiacos FC Prediction

  • Pick: Olympiacos or Draw
  • Odds: 1.90 (22Bet)
  • Score prediction: Lyon 2-2 Olympiacos FC

Both Lyon and Olympiacos have had a rocky start to the season and are unlikely to demonstrate their best level of play. However, playing away, Olympiacos will have more motivation. Coupled with Lyon’s defensive issues, the guests will get their chances to net some goals. 

Lyon are struggling and they have yet to find momentum. Pierre Sage keeps experimenting with the starting lineup but has not come up with the ideal solution. 

Olympiacos on the other hand already know the taste of a triumph and will focus on grabbing another title. We expect the guests to play confidently and our pick for the upcoming match is – Olympiacos or draw.

Lyon vs Olympiacos FC Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: Both Teams to Score
  • Odds: 1.81 (22Bet)

The Greeks have not displayed spectacular gameplay but considering the opponents they are up against, it is much more convenient for them to adjust their style. Lyon are not a defensive team and mostly build their flow on fast attacks.

Olympiacos will probably sit back and wait for counterattacks. They will be looking forward to exploiting the weaknesses of free spaces in the defence. The French side in their turn will surely get some chances near the opponents’ goal.

The teams have met four times, and only three of them ended with both teams scoring. We anticipate the same to happen in this match, and our free football prediction suggests – both teams to score.
