Lyon vs Olympiacos Betting Tips - Over 2.5 Goals
Lyon turn their attention to continental competition after a remarkable 3:2 defeat against 10-man Marseille last weekend. Despite playing with a man advantage for over 80 minutes, Les Gone fell to their third defeat of the Ligue 1 season.
Five games into the campaign, Pierre Sage′s side have picked up just four points with a win against Strasbourg (4:3) their only success of the campaign.
High-scoring outcomes have become frequent occurrences for Lyon in home matches this year. Les Gones saw BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored in six of their last eight competitive fixtures at Groupama Stadium.
Olympiacos make the trip to France winless in their last two matches after previously winning each of their first three league games this season. Following a disappointing goalless draw against Panaitolikos ten days ago, José Luis Mendilibar′s side slipped to a shock 2:1 defeat against Aris last weekend.
Returning to the Europa League after being eliminated in the group phase last season, high-scoring contests proved regular when the Greeks are in action in Europe. Mendilibar′s side saw over 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last eight Europa League games including three of their last four on the road.
Considering both teams recent numbers, domestically and in European competition, the over 2.5 goal pick could prove a profitable one in a likely entertaining Europa League encounter.
With eight games to play in the league phase , neither side will feel the need to opt for a defensive approach and given their defensive frailties, an open contest should see at least three goals scored.
