Olympique Lyon and Celta Vigo face each other in the Europa League round of 16, with Lyon eager to end a five-game winless run in all competitions. As both sides are likely to adopt a cautious approach in the decider, we predict a 1-1 draw. The first leg finished 1-1, leaving the tie wide open. The French outfit have been inconsistent on the road, winning only 20% of their away games this season and scoring an average of 1.0 goals per game away from home, though they boast 60% win rate at home. Lyon will be without talented forward Remi Himbert, who is doubtful after picking up a knock against Le Havre.
Celta Vigo, on the other hand, have won 40% of their matches overall and are averaging 1.4 goals per away game, but they’ve kept just 20% clean sheets on the road. Therefore, we are unlikely to see a high-scoring affair at Stade Olympique Lyonnais. Os Celestes will miss midfielder Ilaix Moriba through suspension.
Considering low scoring first leg and away struggles for Lyon, there is big value in betting on Under 2.5 goals. Additionally, Half-Time Draw, and Draw bets seem interesting.
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 19 March 2026 at 17:45.
