Lyon vs Celta Vigo

The tie is perfectly balanced at 1-1 as Lyon prepares to host Celta Vigo in France. Lyon dominated the first leg in Spain with nearly 70% possession but lacked the finishing touch until Endrick’s late equalizer.

They are currently on a frustrating six-game winless run, but their offensive output is rarely the issue; they have found the net in 17 consecutive matches. The problem for the French side has been defensive lapses that have seen them drop points in winnable games.

Celta Vigo is resilient on the road, remaining unbeaten in their last five away games. They showed in the first leg that they can be incredibly efficient on the counter-attack, even when playing with a numerical disadvantage.

With Lyon needing to be aggressive at home to secure progression, the space behind their midfield will be a target for Celta’s transition play.

Historically, both teams have been involved in high-scoring affairs, and Lyon’s habit of both scoring and conceding makes the “both teams to score” and “over” markets very attractive. Expect at least two goals in what should be an open contest.
