We Expect OL to Deliver the Goods

Lyon finished top of the table in the Europa League with seven wins and one defeat and after dominating away against Celta Vigo, a lot points towards OL coming out on top here. This view is also backed by the latest xG data, which further strengthens the case.

We’ll back Lyon to win on the Full-Time Result market with confidence. +110 looks like value and we’re happy to take that price.
