Betis vs. Lyon: Match Prediction
Betis has yet to suffer a defeat in the current Europa League season, but they have managed only one win in their last 3 matches. Overall, Manuel Pellegrini's side has failed to win in 4 of their last 5 Europa League games (2 draws, 2 losses). At home, the Spanish team traditionally poses a greater threat than away, but their performances in home Europa League matches have been inconsistent.
Lyon remains 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, the French team is unbeaten in 12 consecutive matches in this European competition (7 wins, 5 draws). Their away unbeaten streak over 90 minutes in the Europa League extends to 14 games (10 wins, 4 draws).
Most likely, the visitors will at least avoid defeat once again. Prediction: Lyon to win or draw
