In recent games Maccabi Tel-Aviv have shown a very mixed bag of form. They have recorded 2 wins and 3 losses in their previous 5 and with 2 of the losses being in the Europa League it is clear to see why they are so far down the table. Heading into Thursday's game against Lyon it's highly likely their recent battering at the hands of Beitar Jerusalem will be on their minds.

The side have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in the last 5 and have conceded a whopping 12. Up the front end of the pitch they have shown an ability to score having netted 7 in their last 5.

Olympique Lyon have shown very poor form in their previous 5 games indicative of why they are struggling in Ligue 1. They have drawn 2 and lost 3 out of the last 5 and will be very keen to use a poor Maccabi Tel-Aviv side as a springboard to get back to winning ways.

The side have shown they can score having netted 5 in as many games but for some of the talent at their disposal this is a rather poor return. In defence Lyon have also struggled, they have managed to keep 2 clean sheets but have conceded 8 in the other 3 ties.
