1.89

Lyon has struggled in recent matches and will undoubtedly look to redeem themselves today. With a strong roster, the players are capable of competing for a spot in European competitions, aiming for a top-eight finish in the Europa League while certainly striving to improve their performance. Olympiakos has not been impressive in their last few games and is unlikely to secure points in France.
