Prediction: 2-2
Frankfurt
Parc Olympique Lyonnais will host an eagerly-awaited Europa League game between Olympique Lyon and Eintracht Frankfurt. Les Gones are eyeing their fourth consecutive win in all competitions and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Georgia international Georges Mikautadze is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in a 3-0 win over Angers, while both Benrahma and Diawara miss out with injuries for the Ligue 1 outfit.
Die Adler, on the other hand, have been scoring goals for fun in all competitions of late and given Lyon’s attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Aurele Amenda and Hugo Larsson should be the only absentees in the visiting team this time out. It has to be noted that Olympique Lyon and Eintracht Frankfurt meet for the first time in the competition.
Highlighted Player (Mario Gotze):
Mario Gotze is a German midfielder, who played for Ronsberg and Eintrach Hombruch during his youth career before joining Borussia Dortmund in 2001. He made a great progress during his spell at the Borussia Dortmund’s youth academy and on 21 November, 2009 he made his Bundesliga debut for the Millionaires.
Gotze scored 22 goals in 83 league appearances for the club between 2009 and 2013 and he joined Borussia Dortmund’s bitterest rivals Bayern Munich on April, 2013. The German midfielder, who is capable of playing as a striker as well, failed to impress in the 2015/2016 Bundesliga campaign, but it has to be noted that he was struggling with injury at the start of the season.
Gotze won three Bundesliga trophies with Bayern Munich, but at the end of the 2015/2016 season he returned to Borussia Dortmund. In 2014 he represented Germany at the FIFA World Cup in Brazil and he scored the winner in the final against Argentina. Mario Gotze was born in Memmingen on 3 June, 1992.
Highlighted Team (Lyon):
Commonly referred to as Lyon, Olympique Lyonnais is the French club which play their games at the Parc Olimpique Lyonnais with a capacity just a pinch short of 60,000. Lyon is one of the most popular clubs in France with a vast fan base on par with Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille.
The club achieved moderate success during the 1960s and 1970s led by the likes of Bernard Lacombe and Jean Djorkaeff, while the golden era of the French side came at the start of the new millennium when Lyon began to achieve greater success both in France and on the international level.
It was not until 2002 that Lyon won their first ever Ligue 1 title which sparked an ongoing national record-breaking streak of seven successive titles. During that time Lyon were regular participants of the UEFA Champions League. The French club reached quarter-finals on two occasions, while they even played in the semi-finals in the 2009-10 season.
