Lyon vs Basel Odds

The odds are updated on a frequent basis. You might therefore find that they are different to the ones listed for the above betting predictions.

Lyon are the skinniest price to succeed in this Europa League clash, with the favourites afforded a 66% probability based on their -192 betting odds with the bookies. FC Basel are the outsiders at +480 which suggests a lower likelihood of winning.

Lyon can be backed alternatively on the Half-Time Result market and that means getting -103. However, Basel are +410 and the draw is +160 if you want to take a different option.

The Total Goals odds suggest that Over 2.5 is a strong probability in this contest. If you think both teams will score, then you can back BTTS Yes at -149.
