Conclusively, football fans can expect an action-packed match with goals from both sides.

Second Head to Head Clash
These sides locked horns just once so far, a friendly match in summer 2023 where Celta Vigo won 1-0.
Spanish Side Looking Solid Across Competitions
Celta Vigo defeated PAOK Thessaloniki twice 2-1 and 1-0 in the previous round of the Europa League playoffs, Williot Swedberg appearing on the scoresheet on both occasions.
They also did great in La Liga in late February/early March, securing back to back victories against Mallorca 2-0 and Girona 2-1.
This great run has ended last weekend with a dramatic 2-1 loss to Real Madrid. The Sky Blues were just one minute away from snatching a point, Federico Valverde scoring in the 95th minute. The Vigo side had 1.05-0.86 xG and 4-3 shots on target here.
Lyon Struggling in France Recently
Lyon were the most successful team in the Europa League group phase, topping the table with seven wins and one defeat, but they hit a rough patch in the last couple of weeks in domestic competitions.
After losing two straight Ligue 1 contests to Strasbourg 3-1 and Marseille 3-2, Les Gones were also eliminated from the French Cup last week, losing on penalties after regular time ended 2-2.
Last weekend, Paulo Fonseca’s side barely salvaged a point at home against Paris FC 1-1, Corentin Tolisso converting a penalty deep in stoppage time.
Predicted Lineups & Team News
Celta Vigo (4-1-2-3) Ionut Radu; Javi Rodriguez, Carl Starfelt, Marcos Alonso, Sergio Carreira; Matias Vecino; Iago Aspas, Ilaix Moriba; Javi Rueda, Borja Iglesias, Williot Swedberg
Pablo Duran is out with a ligament injury, while Hugo Sotelo is doubtful due to an ankle problem.
Lyon (3-4-2-1) Dominik Greif; Clinton Mata, Moussa Niakhate, Hans Hateboer; Nicolas Tagliafico, Tanner Tessmann, Noah Nartey, Abner; Adam Karabec, Corentin Tolisso; Roman Yaremchuk
Ernest Nuamah, Malick Fofana, Pavel Sulc, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Ruben Kluivert are confirmed absentees for the visitors due to injuries. Afonso Moreira is doubtful.
Verdict
Lyon have scored at least one goal in their last 17 matches across competitions, but their back line is quite leaky recently. Celta Vigo also score regularly, so BTTS stands out as the best bet.
