Lyon and Salzburg take on each other at Parc Olympique Lyonnais in what promises to be one of the most exciting games of Thursday’s program. Les Gones defeated Utrecht 1-0 in their Europa League opener and they now aim to record their first home win of the process. The likes of Abner Vinicius, Mangala, Nuamah, and Descamps were sidelined with injuries in Lyon’s 1-0 win over Lille at the weekend, but there are no fresh selection worries in the home team.
The Red Bulls, on the other hand, suffered a 1-0 loss to Porto in round 1, but it has to be noted that they missed several clear-cut opportunities to score. Anyhow, we are tempted to place our bets on Olympique Lyon, who are on a three-game winning run in all competitions. Mads Bidstrup has overcome his minor injury, while fellow midfielder Soumaila Diabate is back from the domestic ban.
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 2 October 2025 at 20:00.
