Lyon is coming into this match with a trend to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 matches and their defense has not been good in these. They have allowed at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 6 matches as well as allowing at least 3 goals in 2 of their last 3 and in 3 of their last 5 matches. Their attack has been good in those matches though, scoring at least 2 goals in 2 of their last 3 matches and scoring 6 goals total in that span. When playing at home, they have gone over 2.5 goals in their last 2 matches there, scoring 6 goals in those 2 matches but also allowing 6 goals in those. They are going up against an Olympiacos side that has also been trending to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 4 matches and they have gone over 2.5 goals in their last 2 away matches as well. Olympiacos won the Conference League last season so they know how to play in these competitions and they will be pushing for points here as Lyon has not been in great form recently and they have a lot of problems on defense that Olympiacos can exploit here. Lyon will not keep Olympiacos out of their net with that defense, but Lyon also has more quality in their squad so they should be able to find the net here as they have been scoring a lot of goals recently, and they know they need to score goals to counter their awful defense. Between these two sides, there will be enough goals in this match to push it over 2.5 goals.
