Match preview: Manchester United vs Lyon

Manchester United and Lyon will square off at Old Trafford in the second leg of this stage of the Europa League (quarter-finals), after drawing 2-2 in the first leg. The recent head-to-head record favours the home team, which has won 1 and drawn 1 of their last 2 encounters.

Team analysis: Manchester United

In their most recent match, Manchester United suffered a defeat to Newcastle United with a score of 4-1. Over the last 5 home games in the Europa League, Manchester United has recorded 4 victories and 1 draw.

In this tournament, they have won their last 4 home matches without a loss in their last 11 fixtures. However, the team has conceded goals in 8 of their last 10 games, reflecting a lack of defensive solidity; nonetheless, their attack has performed consistently, netting at least one goal in every match during this stretch. When playing at home, they have a notable tendency for high-scoring games, as 28 of their last 31 fixtures have concluded with over 1.5 goals.

Manchester United comes into this clash on the back of a 4-1 loss against Newcastle. In that Premier League outing, Alejandro Garnacho was the sole scorer for the team. In the Europa League quarter-final, Manchester United drew 2-2 with Lyon. The team typically lines up in a 3-4-3 formation, prioritising a quick and direct style of play characterised by rapid transitions and high pressure. The attacking trio aiming for the opposition goal will be Rasmus Højlund, Alejandro Garnacho, and Joshua Zirkzee, with Bruno Fernandes orchestrating play from midfield. Jonny Evans, Ayden Heaven, Amad Diallo, and Lisandro Martínez are unavailable due to injuries.

Team analysis: Lyon

Lyon arrives at this match after securing a 1-3 victory away at Auxerre. In their last 5 Europa League matches, Lyon has won 3 and drawn 2.

Like Manchester United, they have conceded goals in 8 of their last 10 encounters, indicating defensive vulnerabilities, but have been effective in front of goal, scoring in 8 of their last 10 Europa League matches. When playing away, they too have shown a penchant for high-scoring matches, with 25 of their last 29 fixtures finishing with over 1.5 goals and 20 of those ending with over 2.5 goals.

The Olympique Lyon squad comes into this match following a 1-3 win at Auxerre in Ligue 1, with goals from Georges Mikautadze, Alexandre Lacazette, and Rayan Cherki. The French side previously drew 2-2 against Manchester United in the Europa League quarter-final. Lyon typically deploys a 4-3-3 formation, favouring a direct style of play that includes long passes into the box. The main attacking figures include Georges Mikautadze, Alexandre Lacazette, and Rayan Cherki, while Tiago Almada is responsible for midfield organisation. Malick Fofana and Ernest Nuamah will miss this match due to injuries.
