Lyon vs Red Bull Salzburg

This will be Lyon’s first meeting with FC RB Salzburg, and their first match against Austrian opposition in major European competition altogether.

FC RB Salzburg have lost each of their last three European games against sides from France, as many defeats as across their prior nine matches against sides from the country combined (W5 D1).

Since December 2016, Lyon have lost just three of their 29 home games across major European competition (W14 D12), scoring an average of 2.1 goals per fixture during that time.

FC RB Salzburg have lost each of their last five away UEFA Europa League games in succession, conceding 2+ goals in each of those defeats.

After beating Utrecht 1-0 on MD1, Lyon could begin a third successive UEFA Europa League campaign with wins in their first two matches, also doing so in 2021-22 and 2024-25.
