The last six meetings between Sparta Prague and Lyon have produced twenty-three goals, and unsurprisingly, the over 2.5 goals bet won in five of those games. And with six of Sparta's last seven games featuring 3+ goals and nine of Lyon's last 11 doing the same, our match prediction can't see this game going under in Tuesday's Champions League third qualifying round tie.

Lyon and Sparta have locked horns quite a number of times in Europe. The last meeting was in the 2021 Europa League that featured a nerve-racking 4-3 win for Les Gones in the first leg, before the Frenchmen sealed the deal with another 3-0 win in the second. And 3+ goals have been the case in five of the six times these two have clashed since 2004.

But even more telling have been their recent performances. Sparta are coming off a 3-1 win over Zlin in the Czech First League, following their own 3-1 defeat to Zbrojovka Brno. The hosts are especially dangerous at home, considering Iron Sparta have now scored 2+ goals in nine of their last 11 competitive games outside friendlies.

Lyon, likewise, have been involved in numerous high-scoring games as of late. They recently lost 4-0 to Real Betis in a friendly game, and that's been a consistent theme for Les Gones, who also beat Gallen 6-3 and Macon 5-2 in the July friendlies.
