Goals Lean

▸ Form & goals
Lyon are no pushovers away from home. W3 D1 L1 from 5 away trips, scoring 1.8 per game on the road. Anderlecht (W1 D0 L0 at home) can't afford to take this lightly. Season-long, Lyon average 2.1 points per game compared to Anderlecht's 0.0. that gap in consistency is hard to ignore.
Goals are a tough one to call here. Anderlecht are scoring 1.0 a game (1.0 of those at home) and Lyon manage 1.9 (1.8 on the road). Add it up and it's basically a coin-flip whether we see three or more, we make it 61%, so there's no strong lean either way on the goals line.
▸ Team news & context
European nights carry a magic all of their own. The anthem, the spotlight, the occasion. Both sets of players will be desperate to deliver under the continental floodlights.
Lyon are similarly well-balanced. 1.9 scored, 0.8 conceded per game. This has the makings of a tight, tactical game between two organised sides. Both sides keep clean sheets regularly. This could be a tight, low-block affair where the first goal is decisive.
