Lyon vs Celta Vigo Prediction & Betting Tips

Lyon vs Celta Vigo Match Preview

Lyon return to France with the tie level after the 1-1 draw in Spain in the first leg. The second leg now becomes a direct contest for progression, with the French side holding home advantage but still searching for consistent results in recent weeks.

Celta Vigo arrive after another competitive La Liga performance and have already shown in the first meeting that they can match Lyon across key phases of play. With the aggregate score level, the tactical balance of this match is likely to remain tight.

Lyon Struggling to Turn Performances Into Wins

Lyon’s most recent match ended in a 0-0 draw away to Le Havre, continuing a run of closely contested games. That followed the 1-1 draw away to Celta Vigo in the first leg of this Europa League tie.

The recent pattern shows Lyon frequently involved in balanced matches. They also drew 1-1 at home against Paris FC and suffered narrow defeats against Lens 3-2 in the Coupe de France and Marseille 3-2 in Ligue 1. Another setback came in the 3-1 loss away to Strasbourg.

However, Lyon have demonstrated they can still control matches at home. Victories against Nice 2-0, Nantes 1-0 and Lille 1-0 showed a team capable of managing defensive phases while creating decisive moments in attack.

To progress from this tie, Lyon will likely need a sharper attacking performance than what they produced in the first leg.

Celta Vigo Showing Consistency in Tight Matches

Celta Vigo arrive after a 1-1 draw away to Betis, another example of their ability to remain competitive against strong opposition. That result followed the 1-1 draw with Lyon in the first leg.

Their recent run includes several positive performances. Celta Vigo defeated Girona 2-1 away and also secured victories against PAOK both home and away during their Europa League campaign.

Even their defeat against Real Madrid was closely contested, ending 2-1. Draws against Espanyol and Getafe earlier in the period also show a team comfortable operating in balanced matches where margins are small.

This pattern suggests Celta Vigo will likely approach the second leg with controlled organisation while looking to exploit opportunities on the counter attack.

Lyon vs Celta Vigo Prediction

The best bet for this match is Both teams to score at 1.91 odds. The first leg finished 1-1 and both teams have repeatedly been involved in matches where each side creates chances. Lyon have scored in several recent home fixtures, while Celta Vigo have also shown consistent attacking output across both La Liga and European competition.

Lyon to win at 2.06 odds is another option worth considering. With the tie level and the second leg played in France, Lyon may benefit from the home environment and could find the decisive goal if they convert their attacking phases more efficiently than in the first leg.

The Correct Score Prediction is Lyon 2-1 offered at 9.00 odds. Lyon have already shown they can secure narrow home victories against competitive opponents, while Celta Vigo’s recent matches suggest they are capable of scoring but may struggle to control the decisive moments late in the match.
