Lyon are the -143 favourites on the Full-Time Result. That means a 59% chance of winning this Europa League encounter according to the latest betting odds. Young Boys are the underdogs at +360 which implies a lesser percentage prospect of winning.

Betting Lyon -0.75 on the Asian Handicap at -115 means splitting stake between -0.5 and -1.0. Therefore, a one-goal win over Young Boys means a win and a push, with a 2+ goal victory meaning a full payout.
