Olympique Lyon will be aiming to recover from back-to-back losses to Toulouse and Nice when they take on Basel in a highly-anticipated Europa League game. Les Gones are after their fifth home win of the season (all competitions), but they need to showcase their worth on the field. Czech Republic international Pavel Sulc is expected to keep his place in the starting XI after scoring a brace against les Aiglons at the weekend. Trio Mangala – Descamps – Nuamah remains in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, are eyeing their fourth consecutive win in all competitions. With Basel scoring goals for fun of late and Lyon being a real force to be reckoned with at home, there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Both Keigo Tsunemoto and Finn van Breemen are expected to miss out with injuries for the visiting side.
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 23 October 2025 at 17:45.
