Before locking in any picks for Man United vs. Lyon, you need to see what proven SportsLine soccer expert Brandt Sutton has to say. Here are Sutton’s Europa League picks and predictions for Lyon vs. Man United:
Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 goals (-120)
The expert notes that both teams have potent offenses but are conceding goals at a similar rate. BTTS has hit in five straight matches for Lyon and eight of the last 11 fixtures for Man United. The French side has also conceded two or more goals in three of their last five matches across all competitions, and the Red Devils haven’t kept a clean sheet in UEL play since a 2-0 win against FCSB on Jan. 30.
Over 9 corners (-130)
“Manchester United finished with eight corners in the first meeting despite controlling just 45% of possession,” Sutton told SportsLine. “With everything on the line on Thursday, I expect both teams to press forward and create scoring opportunities, which will undoubtedly lead to 10+ corners.” This line is priced at -130 at BetMGM Sportsbook.
