Lyon Were Much the Better Side When the Teams Played at Goodison Park

Olympique Lyonnais have been in tremendous form of late, winning their last four fixtures on the trot and losing just once in fourteen competitive matches this season in all. Their only defeat in the months prior to today’s Olympique Lyonnais vs Everton preview, came away to PSG, the team expected to run away with the Ligue 1 title in 2017/18. Their UEFA Europa League Group E campaign has got off to a sold if unspectacular start, though their win over Everton on Merseyside last time out has helped to steady their continental ship.

The Toffees are officially a club in crisis as we approach our free Olympique Lyonnais vs Everton betting tips. The Blues sacked manager Ronald Koeman after their atrocious start to the season, placing David Unsworth in temporary charge at Goodison Park. The Evertonians have now lost four matches straight and they haven’t won a match since they beat Bournemouth 2-1 in mid-September.

Unsworth has a real task on his hands to try to extract some goals out of his front players. They have found the net just seven times in ten Premier League contests and have averaged just one goal per game in Group E thus far. The Blues are close to crashing out of the Europa League at the first hurdle and the Europa League football odds for today are stacked firmly against them before their trip to France.

Olympique Lyonnais vs Everton Prediction and Betting Advice

It’s almost impossible to back the away team in our pick of Olympique Lyonnais vs Everton bets this week. The Toffees are so depressingly out of form that it’s difficult to see where their next win is going to come from. With their managerial situation still up in the air, we should expect to see a disorganised and unmotivated squad take to the field at the Groupama Stadium on Thursday.

OL have been excellent on their own patch in 2017/18, remaining unbeaten for seven matches there since the campaign kicked-off a couple of months ago. The French side won both their last two matches at their own ground, firstly beating last year’s champions Monaco and then turning Metz over 2-0 at the weekend. Bruno Génésio masterminded his team’s 2-1 win over the Blues in England just a couple of weeks ago and the Lyon native will be confident of repeating that outcome on Thursday. Mr Green’s odds emerged as the most lucrative way to back our opening pick.

24-year-old French forward Nabil Fekir is under the spotlight for the last of our Olympique Lyonnais vs Everton predictions. The fan favourite has already bagged nine Ligue 1 goals this term and has netted five times in his last four appearances for his hometown club. Fekir collected two more to add to his tally on Sunday as he scored both his team’s goals in their victory over Metz.

The nimble attacker scored after just six minutes when he played at Goodison Park in the first Group game between our featured teams, cooly slotting a penalty past the Toffees keeper to give the Frenchmen the lead. Everton have kept just one clean sheet in fifteen matches this season. Their haphazard defending should leave plenty of spaces for Fekir to exploit this week.
