Roma Olympique Lyonnais betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This confrontation brings as protagonists two teams that have a place of prominence in their countries, but that have different weights within the European soccer. Roma are one of the great clubs in Europe and have a good record in international competitions. Lyon has been making their mark in the French Championship, but they have yet to have such a continental tradition. However, both teams have been doing good campaigns and showing a good offensive power. The Italian team stands out defensively in the aerial duels, while their attack is strong in the balls strung. The French club shows strength in individual plays and also in long-distance kicks, but has allowed the opponent to create many chances of goal. Thus, we expect a very busy game, with good performance of both attacks, being a good option to bet on a game with more goals than usual.

Preview
Roma and Olympique Lyonnais meet at Stadio Olimpico, in a 2nd leg match for the UEFA Europa League (8th Finals). Olympique Lyonnais got a home win by (4‑2) in the previous 1st leg match. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, since Olympique Lyonnais presents significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Roma

The home team comes to this 2nd leg match with a disadvantage of 2 goals, but with the advantage of having scored 2 away goals in the 1st leg. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 25 goals scored and 15 conceded; against 12 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses at their stadium, with 39 goals scored and 14 conceded. In their last match, for the Serie A, they got an away win against Palermo by (0‑3). In the last 4 UEFA Europa League home matches Roma has a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 9 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 48 of the last 55 have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 37 out of 55 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 4 of their 9 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Roma return to play at home for the Europe League after two away from their fans, one of them valid for the Italian League, trying to improve their performance and needing a good win to be able to move forward in the continental tournament. The team takes a little less pressure, although they need to look for the result, after winning again in the last round of the Italian Championship, thus ending a sequence of three consecutive defeats, considering all the competitions it contests. Despite the rather irregular moment, the club occupies the vice-leadership of the Italian Championship. For this match, the coach should keep the team in the 3-1-4-2, highlighting the defender Fazio, who was the man of the game in the last match, and also had a great performance in the first leg against Lyon.

Confirmed Lineup: Alisson , Bruno Peres, Mário Rui, Konstantinos Manolas, Antonio Rüdiger, Federico Fazio, Kevin Strootman, Radja Nainggolan, Mohamed Salah, Edin Džeko .
Coach: D. De Rossi, G. Gasperini.

Analysis Lyon

The away team comes to this 2nd leg match with an advantage of 2 goals, but has suffered 2 goals at home in the 1st leg. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 23 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 11 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 45 goals scored and 13 conceded. In their last match, for the Ligue 1, they got a home win against Toulouse by (4‑0). In the last 10 away matches Olympique Lyonnais has won 5, tied 1 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Lyon go into the field for their fourth Europe League game after two appearances in front of their fans, trying to maintain their excellent performance, both in the continental tournament where they have won all three matches, as in the French Championship, where occupies the fourth position in the table. The team must come quite calm, having opened a good advantage in the first leg, despite having conceded two goals. The club had not entered the European League since the 2014/15 season, when it was eliminated in the playoffs by Astra Ploiesti. For that match, the coach should keep the team in the 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, especially Lacazette in the attack.

Confirmed Lineup: Anthony Lopes, Christophe Jallet, Jérémy Morel, Emanuel Mammana, Mouctar Diakhaby, Maxime Gonalons, Lucas Tousart, Corentin Tolisso, Mathieu Valbuena, Maxwel Cornet, Alexandre Lacazette.
Coach: P. Rodrigues Fonseca.
