What the head-to-head record shows

The 1-1 draw last week was the first time these sides had met since January 2025, when they drew 0-0. Before that the record runs back to the early 2000s: Lyon won three in a row between October 2001 and November 2004, scoring ten goals across those meetings and conceding four. The aggregate over all five encounters is sixteen goals, an average above three per match.
