Our Prediction for Lyon vs Eintracht Frankfurt
Last season, Lyon were at risk of relegation early on. However, a successful gamble on the little-known coach Pierre Sagh, combined with an active winter transfer campaign, turned the situation around, and the club eventually finished 6th in Ligue 1. Frankfurt also made progress in the previous Bundesliga season, securing a 6th-place finish.
Currently, Lyon is maintaining a level close to last season's domestic performance. They have also done well in the Europa League, starting with victories over Olympiacos and Rangers. However, they suffered a home defeat to Beşiktaş and could only manage a 2-2 draw against Hoffenheim, which led to the coach's dismissal. It wasn't until the previous round that Lacazette and his teammates triumphed, defeating Qarabag 4-0 in Baku.
The Germans, starting in Frankfurt, began with a 3-3 draw against Viktoria Plzen. However, under coach Topmöller, they went on a winning streak, defeating Beşiktaş, RFSh, Slavia Prague, and, in the previous round, Midtjylland away, winning 2-1.
