Manchester United and Lyon will continue their battle to advance in the 2025 UEFA Europa League with the second leg of their quarterfinal showdown on Thursday on Paramount+.
French forward Rayan Cherki scored late to secure a 2-2 draw in the first leg when the teams met in Lyon last week. Lyon then defeated Auxerre, 3-1, in Ligue 1 while the Red Devils suffered a 4-1 loss to Newcastle in Premier League play.
Kickoff from Old Trafford in Manchester is set for 3 p.m. ET. The match sees United as -130 favorites, while Lyon is a +330 underdog and a draw is priced at +300, with an over/under total of 2.5 goals.
Betting Insights:
- Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 goals (-120)
The expert notes that both teams have strong offensive capabilities while conceding goals at a similar rate. The odds for both teams to score have hit in five straight matches for Lyon and eight of the last eleven for United.
- Over 9 corners (-130)
“Manchester United finished with eight corners in the first meeting despite having only 45% of possession. Given the stakes on Thursday, I expect both teams to push forward, creating scoring opportunities that will yield 10+ corners,” said Sutton.
