Lyon suffered a 2-3 loss at home to Marseille over the weekend. This continues with the not particularly good start of the new season. They managed to achieve only one victory after playing five matches, which came with a 4-3 win at home against Strasbourg. We will see what they will do now in the Europa League, where they reached the quarterfinals in their last participation two years ago.
The holder of the Conference League trophy also suffered a loss this weekend at the local level. It was the first for the season and happened with a 1-2 defeat in the visit to Aris. Last season Olympiacos was eliminated from the Europa League groups, only to then triumph in the Conference League. Coach Jose Mendilibar now returns to the Europa League, where he triumphed with Sevilla just a year before grabbing a European trophy with Olympiacos.
Prediction: +1.5 AH for OlympiacosLyon does not seem to be in good form on the eve of this match, although Olympiacos also has room for improvement. However, the guests won a European trophy a few months ago, which was the second consecutive for their coach, and I think they can trouble the unconvincing Lyon, and why not take something from the match.
