In-form Lyon will host the out-of-sorts Besiktas in the Europa League on Thursday. Pierre Sage’s Les Gones have hit a good run of form of late, winning all of their last five games and they sit second in the Europa League table. In contrast, Besiktas have lost both their Europa League ties heavily and the Black Eagles sit rock bottom of the standings. Let’s check out our prediction for this key match.
After suffering a slow start to the season, Lyon have hit form over the last month. Three wins in Ligue One have been supplemented with two key wins in the Europa League. A 2-0 home win over Olympiakos followed by an emphatic 4-1 away victory at Rangers.
They continued their good form with a 4-0 thrashing of Le Havre at the weekend.
Their opponents Besiktas have been strong domestically in Turkey, sitting second in the table at present after their 2-0 win over Konyaspor at the weekend. This makes their Europa League struggles all the more puzzling.
They were thrashed 4-0 by Ajax in their opening fixture in the league stage and then lost 3-1 at home to Eintracht Frankfurt in their second match. That makes this game a must-win match for the Turks.

Our Lyon vs Besiktas Istanbul Prediction
Our prediction for the Lyon vs. Besiktas clash in the Europa League is: Malick Fofana (Lyon) to score at any time.
Lyon's Belgian international winger has been in good goalscoring form of late, especially in the Europa League where he has netted twice in two games, as well as having as assist to his name. Fofana has added a further couple of goals to his tally in the Belgian Pro League of late too and against a leaky Besiktas defence, he should have a great chance to continue that scoring run.
