Lyon vs West Ham prediction

• Europe - Europa League
• Date: Thursday, 14th April 2022
• Kick off at 20:00 UK/21:00 CET
• Venue: Parc Olympique Lyonnais

Lyon are 10th on the French Ligue 1 table with 46 points from 31 played matches. They are without a loss in the last five games. In the previous match, Lyon played 1-1 on the road against Strasbourg. That game was fairly even, so it is no wonder that the teams split the points. The home side got the lead in the 20th minute when Ibrahima Sissoko scored. Lyon were solid since then, but they had to wait for Karl Toko Ekambi's goal from the 90th minute to score an equalizer. 

West Ham are 6th on the English Premier League table with 51 points. They won only one of the last four matches in all competitions. In the previous game, West Ham lost 2-0 on the road against Brentford. According to the stats, the home side had 15 shots on the goal, while guests had only five. The game was decided in the first 20 minutes of the second half when Bryan Mbeumo and Ivan Toney scored two goals. 

Lyon and West Ham had the first leg last week in London. In that game, it was 1-1. The game-deciding moment happened in the first half's stoppage time when Aaron Cresswell got the red card. Seven minutes into the second half, the home side's Jarrod Bowen found the net. Since then, the French side has dominated. Lyon's Tanguy Ndombele scored an equalizer in the 66th minute. 

Lyon at home should be better than West Ham. My correct score prediction is a 1-0 win for the home side.
