French giants Olympique Lyon are favorites to advance to the Europa League quarter-finals when they host FC Steaua Bucharest. These two sides meet on Thursday for the return leg of their last 16 tie, which Lyon lead 3-1. The winner here will face either Manchester United or Real Sociedad and here’s our preview and prediction.

Lyon are on the rise and will head into this game eyeing a fourth win on the bounce. Over the weekend they claimed a fifth win in six matches when they beat Nice 2-0 away from home. With a six-match unbeaten run in the Europa League, Lyon will be charged up for this match.

FCSB have a big task here; they must win by at least two unanswered goals to secure their stay in Europe. While the Romanians haven't been spectacular in Europe, they’ve done what they needed to do when called upon.

They suffered two defeats in the league phase, which occasioned their finish below the top eight. However, a pair of wins against PAOK delivered them to the last 16 stage, where they trail Lyon from the first leg.

FCSB were able to get back to winning ways on the weekend, securing a 1-0 home win over U. Craiova in the Romanian top flight. Away from home, FCSB are unbeaten in 11 matches across all competitions.

Our Lyon vs FCSB Prediction

Olympique Lyon have turned on the style and will be the favorites to advance from this tie. Their 2-0 win away to Nice was a statement, and with it they also managed a first clean sheet in five matches. The hosts are returning home when they’ve managed two straight wins on the road.

Only one of their last five matches had under 2.5 goals, and this could also apply to FCSB. Our prediction for Lyon v FCSB is for over 2.5.

Prediction :

 

Over 2.5 goals
