Our prediction for this Europa League match:
Rangers and Olympique Lyon square off against each other at Ibrox Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting Europa League game. Rangers look unstoppable at the moment, with the team eyeing their fifth consecutive league win, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. The good news for the hosts is that important defender Jefte is back from suspension, while the likes of Danilo, Matondo, and Yilmaz are out of contention with injuries.
Les Gones, on the other hand, kicked off their Europa League campaign with a 2-0 win over Olympiacos Piraeus, but beating Rangers at Ibrox is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards in Glasgow and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Talented Belgium forward Malick Fofana should be recalled to the starting eleven after scoring as a substitute in a hard-fought 2-1 win over Toulouse, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away team.

The Wales international played for the likes of Yeovil Town, Leicester City, Rotherham United, Blackburn Rovers, Cardiff City and Ipswich Town as well before signing a contract with Derby County. Tom Lawrence’s main position is left winger, but he is used as both second striker and right winger as well.
The Derby County man made his Wales debut in November 2015 in a 3-2 loss to Netherlands. The highlight of his career is the goal he scored against Georgia in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers. His preferred foot is right and he wears No. 10 jersey at Derby County.
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.
