Betis vs. Lyon: Match Prediction
Betis remains unbeaten in this Europa League season, but the team has only managed to win 1 of their last 3 matches. Overall, Manuel Pellegrini's side has not won 4 of their last 5 matches in this European competition (2 draws, 2 losses). On their home turf, the Spanish team traditionally looks more dangerous than away, but even in home games in the Europa League, the club performs inconsistently.
Lyon, on the other hand, is one of the few teams to have secured the maximum possible 9 points in the first 3 rounds of the Europa League. In regular time in this European competition, the French side has not lost in 12 consecutive matches (7 wins, 5 draws). The club's unbeaten away streak in regular time in the Europa League extends to 14 games (10 wins, 4 draws).
Most likely, the visitors will at least not lose again this time. Prediction – Lyon to win or draw
