Rangers vs Lyon Prediction & Picks - Europa League

 by Tyler Doty | in Soccer Picks

Rangers FC and Olympique Lyonnais have a date with each other for Matchday 2 of the Europa League league phase. They will clash this Thursday at 3:00 pm EST, at the Ibrox Stadium in Scotland. The Scottish club is currently 3rd in the Premiership. And Philippe Clement's team are off to a flying start in the Europa League. On Matchday 1, they beat Malmö FF 0-2. It won't be the same story from now on. 

After clinching their Europa League ticket last season, OL are looking to shine in the Europa League. Like their next opponents, the Rhone-based club have managed to get off to a flying start with 3 points. Les Gones defeated Olympiakos 2-0. Currently in 11th position in Ligue 1, Pierre Sage's men will be keen to keep up the momentum on this perilous trip. They'll certainly be happy with a point away from home. And that's our prediction!

Rangers - Lyon: Form Analysis

Rangers FC missed their first target of the season. Present for the Champions League qualifiers, they had the ambition of reaching the league phase of the Champions League. However, they fell to Dynamo Kiev (aggregate score: 1-3). As a result, they have been relegated to the league phase of the Europa League. Philippe Clement's team got off to a great start in the Europa League, beating Malmö FF last week (0-2). The current 3rd-placed Premiership side are expecting to follow this up in front of their home fans.

Rangers FC and OL managed to win on their C3 debuts.

OL are not having it all their own way. After their crazy 2-3 defeat by OM in Ligue 1, the Rhône-Alpes club bounced back. First of all, they won their Europa League opener against Olympiakos (2-0). Last weekend, Pierre Sage's men followed that up with a win at Toulouse FC. Far from dominating the proceedings, OL were nevertheless able to win in the final minutes (1-2). The win moved them up to 11th place in Ligue 1, and gave them a boost of confidence ahead of their trip to Toulouse.

Rangers & Lyon Squad Analysis

Rangers FC will be without Ridvan Yilmaz, Rabbi Matondo and Danilo for this Europa League encounter. Oscar Cortés remains doubtful. There are a number of players to keep a close eye on in the Scottish club's squad. Cyriel Dessers remains in fine form. The 29-year-old striker has been decisive in his last 3 starts for Rangers FC. Tom Lawrence scored his side's only goal last weekend against Hibernian.

Alexandre Lacazette is still searching for his first goal of the season.

For their part, OL will not have a single absence in their ranks. Since his return to the team, Rayan Cherki has been performing extremely well. After coming on as a substitute against OM, he succeeded in unlocking his scoring potential. And the 21-year-old talent followed this up against Olympiakos in the Europa League. Alexandre Lacazette is also eagerly awaited. The Rhône-Alpes captain has yet to score a single goal this season. He hopes to change that very soon.

Rangers - Lyon Key Points

  1. Lyon are 11th in Ligue 1.
  2. Lyon have now won 2 games in a row in all competitions.

Under 2.5 Goals
