In their respective domestic leagues, Olympique Lyon and Basel had contrasting outcomes. They will be switching to Europe when they clash on matchday three of the Europa League. This match will be hosted by Lyon, and we have a prediction below.
The French side has gone into a slump in the latest two matches after a strong start to the season. Les Gones suffered back-to-back defeats against Toulouse and Nice in Ligue 1.
They still have a perfect record in Europe and will be keen on extending the same here. In their matchday one engagement, the French giants claimed a 1-0 away win at Utrecht before beating Salzburg 2-0 at home.
They’ve only lost once in 17 Europa League group/league phase matches at home.
Basel are coming from a win in domestic action, and they will be looking to transfer the same to Europe. A 3-0 win against Winterthur was their third straight victory.
They’ve also scored 2+ in all three matches, a run that started with a 2-0 win at home against Stuttgart. After playing the opening two matches in the league phase against German sides, Basel are now facing the French way.
They will hope to break Lyon’s jinx on Swiss sides. Though this is the first meeting between these two, Lyon have never lost to a team from Switzerland. Basel lost away to Freiburg on matchday one, making it consecutive defeats in Europe.

Our Lyon vs FC Basel 1893 Prediction
Lyon’s last two matches have shown a dip in form, but playing at home brings out the best in them. Four wins in their last five matches suggest this is the ideal match for Les Gones to bounce back. They’ve also won 12 of their last 17 group/league phase matches at home.
The ambition to bounce back will be helped on by the fact that Basel have lost four times in their last nine away matches. The Swiss side has also suffered defeat in the last two away matches in European competitions. Our prediction for Lyon v Basel is that Lyon wins the match.
