by Carlos Zabala in Europa League Picks
Regardless of their performance in Ligue 1, Lyon has managed to look competitive every time they've played in the Europa League. Four days after their defeat against Lorient, Lyon prepares for their sixth Europa League group stage match against Dutch side G.A. Eagles. Lyon currently tops their Europa League group, and a win on Thursday would mean they can forget about their next two European matches in 2026. Having scored 11 goals in 5 Europa League games this year, Lyon are the heavy favorites to beat G.A. Eagles.
It was by winning the KNVB Cup that G.A. Eagles qualified for the Europa League, their first ever, and they have naturally struggled to manage two equally demanding competitions. They sit tenth in the Eredivisie table and, with 6 points out of a possible 15 in the Europa League, are currently in the elimination zone.
Even so, for the Dutch club, qualifying for the next round is within reach. They will be emboldened by not only having beaten Aston Villa at home but also by having previously defeated Greek side Panathinaikos, marking their first-ever home and away win in European competition.

Our Lyon vs Go Ahead Eagles Prediction
The star of Lyon's recent 6-0 rout of Maccabi Tel Aviv was Corentin Tolisso, who netted a hat-trick. He has been Lyon's top scorer this season. When this team played at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais, Tolisso scored an astounding 40% of their goals this season.
Lyon could very well prevail with their experienced squad, but a high-scoring match seems more likely; there were at least four chances in each of G.A. Eagles' last four games.
Our prediction for G.A Eagles vs Lyon is: Over 3.5 goals.
