Unlike to upcoming rival, Everton have not tasted victory in seven latest encounters, having gained two draws and five losses in them. The Brits’ losing streak consists of four clashes. The club has fired Ronald Koeman as the team sits in the relegation zone in the English Premier League and occupies the last position in Group E table with single points taken and 3-7 goal difference. In other words, “The Toffees” have to be more concerned about improving their situation in the English elite division rather than their performance in the UEFA Europa League. In 2017 Everton conducted 18 games in face of their fans resulting in just two triumphs together with seven draws and nine defeats.
Lyon demonstrate solid football at the home pitch, the side is rather successful in the UEFA Europa League and is full of desire to take another step forward after last season’s semi-final. On the contrary, Everton are in the deep crisis at the moment, they have great problems in the English Premier League, consequently, the club is likely to use a reserve squad in the Eurocup battle.
Prediction for the match: Lyon to win.
