Lyon vs Besiktas

Lyon and Besiktas’ only previous meetings in European competition came in the 2016-17 UEFA Europa League quarter-final with the home side winning 2-1 in each game before OL progressed via penalties.

Besiktas have lost four of their previous five away games against French opponents in European competition, but did win their most recent such game in October 2017 – 2-1 versus Monaco.

Lyon have only lost one of their 26 group stage games in the UEFA Europa League (W18 D7) and are unbeaten in all 13 such home games (W10 D3).

Besiktas have lost eight of their last nine games in the UEFA Europa League (W1), losing all four away from home in that run by an aggregate score of 15-3.

Since the 2009 rebrand, only four players have scored more UEFA Europa League goals than Lyon’s Alexandre Lacazette (24), with the Frenchman netting a brace against Rangers last time out.
