Man Utd vs OL Lyonnes prediction

Man Utd's 100% record in the league phase was ended by Wolfsburg last time out, with the German side winning 5-2 on home soil.

It was something of a shock to the system for Marc Skinner's side, but they will be determined to hold on to their position in the top eight of the league phase, which would grant them direct entry into the quarter-finals.

One point better off than Man Utd are OL Lyonnes, who remain unbeaten after four matchdays. However, the eight-time European champions had to come back from a shock 3-0 deficit against Juventus on Matchday 4, with Jonatan Giraldez' side scoring three of their own in the second half to spare their blushes.

OL are unlikely to be as complacent again, but Man Utd have found the net in all of their league phase fixtures this season. With home advantage, it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see them score again, even if they do come up short in the end.

Man Utd vs OL Lyonnes tip: Both teams to score
