Lyon host Crystal Palace with both sides level on points

Recent form points different ways

Lyon have won three of their last five recent matches, drawn one and lost one. The defeat came last time out, 2-1 against RCL. Before that they had put four past REN and beaten AND 2-1. Crystal Palace have won two of their last five, drawn one and lost two. Their two victories were heavy ones: 4-0 against LECH and 3-1 against NFO in their most recent outing. Between those wins came a 2-0 defeat to BRC.

What the market sees

The market-implied probabilities have Lyon as slight favourites at 39.8 per cent, with Palace at 34.1 per cent and the draw at 26.1 per cent. The gap is narrow enough that the outcome feels open. A draw would leave both clubs on four points from two matches, still well placed but with work to do. A defeat for either would strand them on three points while the other moves clear.
