17th March 2022 – 21:00, Parc Olympique Lyonnais, Lyon
Lyon and Porto will face each other in the second-leg match of the Europa League eighth-finals on Thursday evening. The hosts want to keep their aggregate advantage intact, while the away side needs to go for a win on the road.
Lyon Preview & Team News
Lyon will be hoping to bounce back here following the 4:2 Ligue 1 losing effort in their last game against Rennes. That one kept them in the middle of the Ligue 1 table, being eight points away from the continental battles. In their preceding six games, Peter Bosz’s Lyon has hit the back of the net ten times, giving them an average number of goals scored per match equal to 1.67. L’OL needs to stabilize its form to secure one of the top-five spots in the domestic competition. Nevertheless, they go to this one after a 1:0 success in Porto. Regarding the selection issues, Rayan Cherki (Metatarsal Fracture) and Sinaly Diomandé (Ankle Surgery) will be missing for Lyon coach Peter Bosz.
Porto Preview & Team News
Porto comes into this game following a 4:0 Primeira Liga win versus Tondela in their most recent match. The Dragons remained six points clear from the defending champions Sporting and are the major favorites for the title. Sérgio Conceição’s Porto has turned their attacks into goals 12 times throughout their previous six matches. The aggregate of goals that have been scored against them during those same clashes equals 6. However, they are one goal behind in this tie, and only a victory can keep them on the continental stage. Porto boss Sérgio Conceição has to choose a team with limited availability. Fernando Andrade (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) and Wilson Manafá (Joint injury ) miss out here.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
It is going to be a tight clash, and it can easily go either way. Lyon is pretty unpredictable, but we believe they can hold on to a draw on the home ground.
Goals Market Prediction
On the other hand, Porto is very talented in the final third, and they are very capable of scoring against Lyon. Therefore, we don’t think either team will keep the clean sheet on Thursday evening.
