Lyon – Crystal Palace Tip Europa League, Matchday 2 on Thursday, 15/10/2026 at 18:45 CET
For the second matchday of the Europa League, I have prepared an exciting Lyon Crystal Palace tip for you. The French welcome a team from the Premier League, which is always a special challenge. Incidentally, both started the competition with victories.
My main bet for this match is Double Chance 1X & Both teams will score at odds of 2.05 at Winamax. Crystal Palace are extremely vulnerable in defence, which should play into Lyon’s hands!
The English even have the worst value in the Premier League with 2.13 xGA per 90 minutes. Lyon’s attack, which has scored in 10 of 11 competitive games, will certainly know how to take advantage of that. Since a 1-1 draw already secured us the win, this is a strong Lyon Crystal Palace prediction.
Lyon vs. Crystal Palace AI Tip & Odds Analysis:
A really strong option for your ticket is the simple home win of the French. Lyon have recently celebrated two home wins in a row, are extremely grippy in their own stadium and are brimming with self-confidence, which makes the odds of around 2.15 on the three-way market extremely attractive.
If you want to play the bet without much risk, it is best to use a Freebet to bet fully on the home threesome. Against the shaky guests, the Fonseca team will dictate the tempo from the start and play to their home strength in the Parc OL ice-cold.

For more value, the Lyon market is coming into focus with 1.5 goals at odds of around 1.87. The home side have the second-best attack in Ligue 1 and score in front of their home crowd like on a conveyor belt, which is why two goals of their own are absolutely realistic.
The Asian goal line Over 3.0 goals also serves as a fine hedge. If exactly three goals are scored in an open exchange, you get your stake back completely, while from four goals the full winnings are paid out – a statistically excellent move for your betting slip.
