Two sides who began with victories collide in Lyon, with Crystal Palace arriving on the back of a 4-0 rout and Lyon having won away at Anderlecht, and our Lyon vs Crystal Palace predictions and betting tips size up a tight Europa League night at the Groupama Stadium on Thursday, kick-off 5.45pm.
Our Lyon vs Crystal Palace predictions and betting tips are below, with Anthony Eadson’s best bets and score prediction.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson leans to the hosts in a close one.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Anan Khalaili 2+ shots | 9/5 (Ladbrokes) | Anan Khalaili has managed two or more shots in three of his six Premier League appearances this season, nine shots in total, and he has already scored once. Crystal Palace opened their Europa League campaign by hammering Lech Poznan 4-0, and they beat Nottingham Forest 3-1 at the weekend, so confidence is high. Lyon lost 2-1 at Lens last time out, which should give Palace’s wide players room to attack. Khalaili to have two or more shots is 9/5. |
| Felix Bacher 1+ shot on target | 9/2 (Ladbrokes) | Felix Bacher has landed a shot on target in three of his six Ligue 1 appearances this season and has scored once, a useful return that the market does not seem to reflect. Lyon won 2-1 at Anderlecht on matchday one and will look to impose themselves at home against a Palace side that likes to counter. Ladbrokes have Bacher at 9/2 to hit the target, which is the standout price for a player who has done it in half of his league games. |

How Lyon go into the game
Lyon began with a 2-1 win away at Anderlecht, a result that has them 11th in the standings.
The French side showed enough to suggest they will be a handful on home soil at the Groupama Stadium.
How Crystal Palace go into the game
Crystal Palace could hardly have made a better start, hammering Lech Poznan 4-0 to sit second after matchday one.
The Eagles kept a clean sheet and look a threat, but this is a step up on the road.
Lyon vs Crystal Palace head-to-head
With no recent meetings between the clubs, there is little head-to-head form to go on.
