Lyon vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction & Betting Tips (12 December)

After 5 days played in this Europa League, the results offered by Olympique Lyonnais are good and even quite promising. Les Gones, who suffer from a rather worrying financial situation, are doing the job for the moment in this C3 with 3 victories won against Olympiakos 2-1, Rangers 1-4 and Qarabag 1-4 on the last day which allows them to rank 7th in the ranking. In the meantime, they had just been surprised by Besiktas 0-1 and were held in check on the field of Hoffenheim 2-2 but the objective is undoubtedly to be able to keep this place in the top 8 synonymous with direct qualification for the 1 / 8th finals without needing to go through the play-offs. At the same time, Pierre Sage's men are also on pace in the championship despite a difficult start. Undefeated since the end of September, the Rhone residents put up a very good fight against OGC Nice 4-1 and will try to continue next Saturday on the Angers pitch. But against OL, it's a big piece that presents itself this Thursday.

With its 13 points taken out of 15 possible, Eintracht is in fact on the 3rd step of the podium in this Europa League. If she had been held in check when she entered the fray by Viktoria Plzen 3-3, the Capricious Diva then showed seriousness to defeat Besiktas 1-3, Rigas FC 1-0, Slavia Prague 1 -0 and Midtjylland 1-2 to have as many points in the bag as the leader, Lazio Rome. In the Bundesliga, the Eagles are also in very good shape in this first part of the season since they are in 2nd position behind Bayern Munich. Mercilessly against Heidenheim 0-4, they will aim for a 5th success in a row next weekend against Augsburg. 

Unsurprisingly, the former starting goalkeeper Lopes, now classified among the undesirables, will not appear in the group. Otherwise, Les Gones could afford the luxury of arriving in full force for this clash against one of the favorites for the final title since winger Benrahma (substitute), author of one achievement in the Europa League and another in Ligue 1, should be available after missing the trip to Angers last weekend. Author of a double on the last day, Georgian striker Georges Mikautadze proved that we could count on him. But competition rages for the center forward position with General Lacazette who responded a few days later by scoring a hat-trick in the league. This is 8 achievements in all competitions. Pierre Sage could also renew his confidence in the excellent midfielders Tolisso and Cherki.

As for a few matches now, Eintracht risks only being deprived of replacement striker Amenda. Consequently, the Eagles could present themselves at Groupama Stadium with their entire offensive armada embodied by the Egyptian international Marmoush (13 goals and 7 assists in the league, 3 goals in C3) who is having the best season of his career. In great shape, the Cairo native is enjoying quite incredible success and he is the main actor in the very good start to the season made by his team. He is also well supported by the former Parisian Hugo Ekitike (6 goals, 3 assists in the Bundesliga, 1 goal in C3) who is also making a name for himself on the other side of the Rhine and who confirms the expectations placed on him .
