Recent Lyon and GO Ahead Eagles Match Analysis

Lyon last 5 matches: Lyon 2-3 PSG (H) Ligue 1 Auxerre 0-0 Lyon (A) Ligue 1 Maccabi Tel Aviv 0-6 Lyon (A) Europa League Lyon 3-0 Nates (H) Ligue 1 Lorient 1-0 Lyon (A) Ligue 1

Lyon have struggled to really get any consistent form going in their last 5 matches having won 2 lost 2 and drawn 1. The one key area to focus on for them is that fact that when they win, they win comfortably scoring 9 goals in their 2 wins. This shows that when they play well, they play very well. With their last Europa League win being the 6-0 victory, they will be full of confidence going into this match and will hope that it will be another easy run out in Europa pushing them towards their goal of winning the group phase.

GO Ahead Eagles last 5 matches: GO Ahead Eagles 2-1 Feyenoord (H) Eredivisie Heracles 4-2 GO Ahead Eagles (A) Eredivisie GO Ahead Eagles 0-4 VfB Stuttgart (H) Europa League GO Ahead Eagles 2-2 FC Utrecht (H) Eredivisie AZ Alkmaar 2-2 GO Ahead Eagles

Not the greatest run of last 5 matches for GO Ahead Eagles having only managed to win a single game in the last 5 matches. However, the win did come against the team that currently sits second in the Eredivisie so that would’ve given them a boost in confidence. However, all round their confidence will be low having not been able to get a win in the last 4 matches. This is something they wouldn’t have wanted when facing the team at the top of the Europa League. Adding onto this the fact that they lost 4-0 last week to a team sat in 12th, they will be wanting to avoid a repeat, however, with recent defensive issues, having conceded 13 goals in the last 5 matches, they could face another heavy defeat.

Key Players to Watch: Lyon vs GO Ahead Eagles

Corentin Tolisso (Lyon): The midfielder has been playing a very attacking role for Lyon in the Europa League, and this has paid off with him scoring 4 goals in the 3 matches that he has played. The midfielder has managed to find himself in the right position at the right time a lot so far this season and he will hope he can do it again on Thursday and add to his already impressive tally to help Lyon get one step closer to finishing top of the table.

Melle Meulsensteen (GO Ahead Eagles): While he has yet contributed any goals or assists this season in the Europa League, he has done something just as important and that’s being a rock at the base of the midfield. Having won 37 duels 6 interceptions and 23 recoveries, he has been the man protecting the defence and making sure limited chances and attacks get through to the defence. He will be vital in stopping Lyon from going forward and creating chances.
