Europa League Betting Preview: Celta Vigo vs Lyon

Spanish La Liga outfit Celta Vigo host French Ligue 1 side Lyon in the first leg of their Europa League round of 16 tie at Estadio Balaídos, with kick-off set for 16:00 on Thursday 12 March.

There’s a strong case for siding with Celta Vigo when it comes to the Full-Time Result betting market. We think the favourites could prove too strong for Lyon and odds of +107 are attractive.

Celta Vigo were defeated last time out. Estadio Balaídos saw them beaten at home to Real Madrid by a 2-1 scoreline in La Liga. Claudio Giraldez's side enjoyed just 37% possession and had four shots on target, with Borja Iglesias registering the goal.

Lyon drew 1-1 against Paris FC in their previous game. This was on home soil at Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Ligue 1. OL had the lion’s share of the ball enjoying 62% possession and four shots on goal, while Corentin Tolisso was on the scoresheet.

In their last Europa League games, Celta were 1-0 winners at home to PAOK Thessaloniki, with Lyon triumphing 4-2 when hosting PAOK Thessaloniki.
