Lyon hosts Rangers in round 6 of the Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, December 9th at Parc Olympique Lyonnais (Lyon)
Lyon has already officially won its group. In five matches, Peter Bosz's men earned 15 points. The gap from the 2nd place is eight points. I cannot but note that the Kids scored at least two goals against their opponents in each of the five games in the group stage. In total, they scored 15 goals, which is the best figure in the UEL. Interesting fact: Lyon remains the only team in the current UEFA Europa League that has not lost a single point so far. If we look at home matches in this tournament, Olympique has long been showing very solid results. In the previous 11 matches, only one draw and one defeat were recorded, and the team won nine times. However, Lyon is doing badly in Ligue 1 (12th place after 16 rounds). The team seems to be completely focused on the Europa League.

Rangers FC defeated Sparta Prague (2-0) in the last UEL match at home. That victory became only the second for the Scots in the current draw of the European tournament. Now van Bronckhorst's charges have seven points and are in 2nd position in the group. In five matches, they earned seven points. Interestingly, the Light Blues did not have a single point after two starting matches. They had problems in the last four away games in the Europa League — they have not won a single victory (three draws and one defeat). All five matches in the current UEFA Europa League group stage ended with Under 2.5 goals scored.
In the first-round match, Lyon beat Glasgow Rangers with a score of 0-2. Twelve of the last 13 Olympique’s games in the Europa League ended with Over 2.5 goals scored. The Kids have scored at least three goals in five of their last six home games in the UEL. Let's be objective: Lyon is stronger than Rangers FC at the moment. Yes, the Kids no longer have tournament tasks. But I am sure that they will not give points to the Scots without a fight. Now the Europa League is a kind of outlet for the Kids after Ligue 1, where they have huge problems. I have no doubts that Peter Bosz's charges will try to finish the UEL group stage without suffering a single defeat. The hosts have a higher class of performers and will play at home, so I will bet on their victory.
Prediction for the match: Lyon to win
