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

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

Lyon

The team failed last season in the first round, but dramatically added, starting from the winter – and Pierre Sage, a little-known specialist, showed his coaching abilities perfectly. And even in January, they did not spare money for newcomers. However, this was reflected in the summer, when everyone from the application had to be put on the transfer under the threat of financial fair play sanctions. As a result, they sold O’Brien and Mamadou Sarrah, and also sent a number of football players on loan, including Onan. But the newcomers are also quite famous, like Veret and Zaa, and they paid 6 million for Tessmann. The failure at the start is even more surprising: they started with several 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 by winning the Conference League – a real breakthrough for the whole football Greece (and the second such success in a row for the mentor, Mendilibar – and again he came in the middle of the draw). And U-19 Legends became the winner of the youth Champions League. However, at the same time in the domestic arena, the red and whites were again left without a title – they finished in third place. In the summer, the line-up changed noticeably, in particular, Iborra and El-Arabi left with Ruben Vezou. But at the same time, Yaremchuk and Willian appeared in Piraeus. In the new season, the team started with three wins, but in September, they failed against Panetolikos, playing 0:0, and Arisu managed to lose completely.

Statistics of personal meetings

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

Forecast

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