- Date: Thursday, 13th March 2025
- Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
- Venue: Parc Olympique Lyonnais (Lyon)
Lyon have had a solid season. In Ligue 1, they are sixth on the table but with only two points fewer than the top four positions. The team from Parc Olympique Lyonnais has a good chance of progressing to the Europa League quarterfinal. Lyon had some problematic parts of the season, but they are playing great lately with five wins in the last six matches. Last weekend, Lyon won 2-0 on the road against Nice. The home side finished with ten shots on the goal more than the guests, but Paulo Fonseca's team defended well and found a way to win all three points.
The title race in Romania could be very interesting. FCSB are at the top of the table, but the next three teams are only four or fewer points behind. FCSB mostly played well since the winter break, as they lost only one of the previous ten games. In the last match, FCSB won 1-0 at home against Universitatea Craiova. In one of the biggest derbies in the country, the home side had xG of 1.20, while the guests had 0.71, so FCSB's victory was well-deserved.
Lyon vs FCSB pick: Lyon to win and cover AH -1.5 spread
Lyon and FCSB met in the first leg last week in Romania, and the French team won 3-1. Although playing away from home, Lyon finished the match with 67% ball possession and six shots on the goal more than the opponents. We should expect another big win for Paulo Fonseca's team on Thursday night.

Lyon team news
The French Football Association handed a nine-month suspension to Lyon's Paulo Fonseca for confronting the referee in one of the previous Ligue 1 games. Fonseca watched the game from the stands for the weekend. However, the suspension doesn't apply in the Europa League, and the head coach will lead his team against FCSB on Thursday.
Lyon doesn't have any injury problems right now.
