Lyon have the chance to secure back to back wins for the second time in the Europa League this season when they play host to Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday night.
Les Gones made a disappointing start to the 2024-25 campaign, losing four of their opening six matches, but the response has been great. Pierre Sage's men failed to win just one of their last fourteen games in all competitions, winning a record nine games in the process. Four of those victories have come in the Europa League and the Lyon faithful will be backing their team to beat Eintracht at home this week.
Eintracht Frankfurt have also been in fine form in recent weeks. Die Adler avoided defeat in ten of their last eleven games, with the only defeat in that period being the 3:0 loss to RB Leipzig in the last 16 of the DFB-Pokal over a week ago. Having won each of their last four Europa League encounters, Dino Toppmöller's side will be backing themselves to take at least one point in France.
