Our prediction: Rangers v Lyon
The Europa League boasts plenty of teams with the calibre of squad capable of plying their trade in the Champions League. Lyon are one of them.
Lyon defeated Manchester City 3-1 in the quarter-finals of the 2019/20 Champions League before falling to Bayern Munich in the semi-finals. That season was curtailed, meaning they missed out on European football last term.
However, Lyon finished fourth – just seven points shy of PSG – in Ligue 1 during 2020/21 and are expected to go well again.
Simply, they are one of the favourites to go all the way in the Europa League. An organised Rangers display could fend off the French side but it would take a mighty effort to halt them from victory.
Our prediction: Rangers 1-2 Lyon (9/1 at bet365)
