Rangers vs Lyon Prediction & Betting Tips (3 October)

2nd in the Scottish championship last season, their neighbor and rival Celtic , the Rangers were therefore able to quietly validate their ticket for this new version of the Europa League. They also got off to an excellent start last week by winning very logically against the Swedes in Malmö with a score that could undoubtedly have been heavier 0-2. This success allows them to be in 6th place in the ranking today. In the championship, the Glasgow players got off to a rather average start on their scale with 10 points taken out of the 15 at stake but they are already 5 points behind their neighbor Celtic. Victorious against Dundee 10 days ago , they will host Hibernians on Sunday. For their part, Olympique Lyonnais is having a rather mixed start to the season.

Everything is going well on the European scene for Pierre Sage's men who defeated Olympiakos, defending Conference League holders, last Thursday 2-0 in a game that they generally dominated. This performance could serve as a reference match for Les Gones who encounter much more difficulty on the national scene. Because in Ligue 1 , the Rhone residents have already lost 3 times in 5 days and they experienced a huge disappointment by losing at home against Marseille after having played almost the entire match in numerical superiority 2-3. A reaction will be eagerly awaited from Toulouse on Sunday to leave the second part of the ranking.

Philippe Clément, the Rangers coach who has notably been on the AS Monaco bench in recent years, will have to take into account the absence of several players for this game. Indeed, attackers Oscar Cortes, Danilo and Matondo as well as defender Ridvan Yilmaz are all in the infirmary at the moment. On the other hand, starting defender Jefté should make his return after being suspended during the trip to Sweden last week. We should undoubtedly find in this team the excellent right back James Tavernier (17 goals and 10 assists in the league last year) who already has 2 assists in the league this season. Also pay attention to the attackers Dessers (3 goals), Lawrence (2 goals) and Bajrami (2 goals). Everyone should be on deck on the Lyon side except the goalkeeper Lopes who is still pushed aside by Pierre Sage at this time.

start of the season. Reinstated since his last contract extension, Rayan Cherki seems to have fire in his legs now. He also scored both against OM (in vain) and against Olympiakos last weekend. Alexandre Lacazette, for his part, has still not scored since the start of the season but he retains his coach's preference ahead of rookie Mikautadze. In the middle, we could find the experienced Tolisso and Matic.
