Match preview: Lyon vs Manchester United

Lyon and Manchester United face off at Groupama Stadium in an Europa League clash (quarterfinals). The most recent direct encounter was on 19 July 2023, which ended in a 1-0 victory for Manchester United.

Team analysis: Lyon

The home side arrives at this stage of the Europa League (quarterfinals) after eliminating FCSB, with a commanding (4-0) victory at home, and a (1-3) win in the previous round. In their last match, they recorded a 2-1 victory over Lille in Ligue 1. In their last five home games in the Europa League, Lyon boasts three wins, one draw, and one loss.

In this competition, there have been no clean sheets in their last seven matches. The team has conceded goals in seven of their last ten outings, indicating a lack of defensive solidity, although their attack has remained effective, managing to score in eight of their last ten games in this competition.

Lyon enters this match following a 2-1 win against Lille, with goals from Rayan Cherki and Alexandre Lacazette. The home team typically utilises a 4-3-3 formation, with the trio of Georges Mikautadze, Rayan Cherki, and Alexandre Lacazette tasked with unsettling the opposition defence. The midfield is orchestrated by Jordan Veretout, a crucial player in building attacking plays. However, they will be without Malick Fofana and Ernest Nuamah, both due to injury concerns.

Team analysis: Manchester United

The visiting side has reached this quarterfinal stage of the Europa League after eliminating Real Sociedad, achieving a (4-1) win at home followed by a (1-1) draw in the previous round. They enter this match after a goalless draw against Manchester City at home. In their last five Europa League matches, Manchester United has won two and drawn three.

In this competition, they remain unbeaten away from home, with a streak of five games. The team has conceded goals in eight of their last ten matches, suggesting defensive vulnerabilities, although they have consistently scored, with at least one goal in all of their last ten games in this competition. This team often opens the scoring first, having done so in eight of their last ten Europa League games, of which they led at halftime in two and maintained their advantage until the final whistle in four. Over their last 20 matches across all competitions, they notably scored ten of their 25 goals in the final minutes (76’–90 ‘).

Manchester United heads into this match following the 0-0 draw against Manchester City in the Premier League. It’s important to note that they reached this Europa League quarterfinal after eliminating Real Sociedad in the previous round. The visitors often employ a tactical setup of 3-4-3, which favours a fast-paced style of play. In this formation, Joshua Zirkzee, Alejandro Garnacho, and Rasmus Højlund are typically responsible for creating chaos in the opposition box. Midfielder Bruno Fernandes serves as the team’s brains, orchestrating and initiating their offensive attacks. Unfortunately, they will be missing Jonny Evans, Ayden Heaven, Amad Diallo, and Lisandro Martínez due to injuries.
