This bet needs Lyon to win 2-0, 3-0 or 4-0, so they must score at least twice and keep Crystal Palace out. With Palace kept out, Over 1.5 Goals at 1/5 needs both of those goals to be Lyon’s, and the case for that is Lyon scoring 1.83 a game in Ligue 1 against a Palace side letting in 2.1 a game in the Premier League. It loses only if the game ends with one goal or none, which happened in one of Lyon’s six and one of Palace’s ten, and Lyon failed to score once in that run.
Under 4.5 Goals at 1/5 loses only on five goals or more, which none of Lyon’s last six Ligue 1 matches reached, and even a 4-0, the biggest score this bet allows, still wins it. The worry is Crystal Palace, who let in 2.1 goals a game in the Premier League and saw five or more in three of their last ten.
Lyon to win at 6/5 is our pick on this fixture, on a short Ligue 1 record of three wins, two draws and one defeat from their last six, unbeaten in the three of those at home. The doubt is that they lost 2-1 to Lens on 9 October, though they did win 2-1 at Anderlecht in the Europa League on 16 September. Crystal Palace have two wins, three draws and five defeats from their last ten in the Premier League. Just one of the five they played away from home ended in a win.
Crystal Palace are the danger for this leg: both teams scored in seven of their last ten Premier League matches, and they put four past Lech Poznań at home in the Europa League on 17 September. Lyon are the reason to back it, with three clean sheets in their last six Ligue 1 matches and 0.67 goals conceded a game, while Palace failed to score in three of their ten. At 6/4, this leg is about keeping Palace off the scoresheet, and every score this bet wins on has them on nil.
