Our prediction for the match Rangers Glasgow vs Lyon
The "Light Blues" managed to stop Celtic from securing ten consecutive league titles. However, that was under Steven Gerrard, who soon returned to his homeland, leaving the team to settle for second place without him. Under Philippe Clement, they also finished as runners-up last season. For Lyon, it was a dramatic season. They hovered near the bottom of the Ligue 1 table, but coach Pierre Sage turned things around, helped by an active January transfer window, and they climbed to sixth place.
In the summer, Lyon openly admitted they were willing to sell players to meet financial fair play regulations. However, they still managed to bring in players like Georges Mikautadze. Despite this, their start to the season was poor, with only one win—a thrilling 4-3 against Strasbourg. Clement's Rangers also dropped points, and the "Old Firm Derby" resulted in a crushing 0-3 defeat to Celtic.
Rangers had an unsuccessful attempt to qualify for the Champions League group stage. They managed a draw away against Dynamo Kyiv but lost at home, conceding twice late in the match. The game could have gone differently if not for the controversial red card to Vital early in the second half. After moving to the Europa League, they secured a solid 2-0 win against Malmö. Lyon, starting from the group stage, faced Olympiacos and earned a comfortable 2-0 victory without conceding.
