Lyon – Olympiakos. Forecast and announcement for the Europa League match

On September 26, a match of the 1st round of the Europa League will be held at “Olympic Lyonnais”, in which “Lyon” will meet “Olympiakos”. The match will start at 22:00 Kyiv time.

Lyon

Last season, the team failed in the first round, but they increased dramatically, starting from the winter – and Pierre Sage, a little-known specialist, perfectly demonstrated his coaching abilities. Well, in January they did not spare money for newcomers. True, this became apparent in the summer, when everyone from the application had to be submitted to the transfer under the threat of Financial Fair Play sanctions. As a result, they sold O’Brien and Mamadou Sarra, and also sent a number of players on loan, including Onan. But the newcomers are quite famous, like Veretu and Zaa, and they gave 6 million for Tessmann. The failure at the start is even more surprising: they started with a couple of dry defeats, and after 4:3 with Strasbourg, ended with a goalless draw with Lance. In the final round, the shootout with Marseille ended in favor of the opponent 3:2.

Olympiakos

Last season, the club shone on the international stage. The main team managed to take the trophy, won the League of Conferences – a real breakthrough for the entire football Greece (and the second such success in a row for the mentor, Mendylibar – and again he came to the heat of the draw). And U-19 Legends won the Youth Champions League. True, at the same time, in the domestic arena, the red and white team again remained without a title – they finished third. In the summer, the composition changed noticeably, including the departure of Yborra and El-Araby with Ruben Vezu. But at the same time, Yaremchuk and Willian appeared in Piraeus, among others. In the new season, the team started with three victories, but in September they lost against Panetolikos, playing 0:0, and Arisu managed to lose altogether.

Statistics of personal meetings

In 2000, in the Champions League, the Greeks won the match with the first point. But then the French immediately took revenge, and five years later the weavers won both meetings.

Forecast

Bookmakers do not believe in a good result for the guests. The Greeks abroad are generally weak, we bet that the French will win at home here (coefficient – 1.87).
