by Thobelani Moyo in Europa League Predictions
Salzburg are set to travel to the Parc Olympique Lyonnais to lock horns with Lyon on matchday two of the UEFA Europa League. Here's our match prediction.
Lyon started their UEFA Europa League campaign with a win against Netherlands FC Utrecht. Tanner Tessmann's effort in the 75th minute saw them secure a narrow 1-0 away victory.
Paulo Fonseca's charges have now suffered just two defeats in their last 33 Europa League group/league phase outings. They also aim to make it two wins in a row.
Les Gones enter this clash high in spirits. Their recent match was against Lille over the weekend, and they secured a 1-0 away league victory. This marked their sixth win in seven games.
Salzburg is nursing frustration after failing to come away with a favorable outcome in their opening match of the UEFA Europa League. Drawn against FC Porto, the hosts conceded a second-half stoppage-time goal to suffer a narrow 1-0 home defeat.
That result extended their winless run across all competitions to four matches (D1, L3). However, they managed to stop the rot last time out against Tirol in the Austrian Bundesliga. Their converted chances in each half saw them secure a 2-1 away victory.
Die Roten Bullen need a win to boost their confidence. So far, they are winless in their last four European competitions, including three consecutive defeats.

Our Lyon vs Salzburg Prediction
Lyon are determined to make it four wins in a row and preserve a clean sheet for the fourth consecutive time. They have won each of their last three matches by a scoreline, indicating that this could turn out to be a low-scoring affair.
Salzburg created a decent number of shots on target in their last outing against FC Porto in the UEFA Europa League opener. Their profligacy in the final third turned out to be their demise, and that's something we expect to see once again here. Our Lyon vs Salzburg prediction: Lyon to win and under 3.5 goals.
