Lyon will be hoping to pull off a stirring comeback when they welcome Ajax to the Parc Olympique Lyonnais for Thursday's Europa League semi-final second leg.
Comprehensively beaten 4-1 in an exciting first leg in Amsterdam, Bruno Genesio's men are 4/6 (1.67) favourites with bet365 to keep their chances alive by coming out back on home turf.
De Godenzonen have not won any of their last five away games in the Europa League but are on offer at 4/1 (5.00) to book their place in the final with a victory here.
Three of those five away games have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 7/2 (4.50) on the visitors clinching their aggregate victory with another stalemate in this one.
While a three-goal first-leg cushion would usually be more than enough to see a team through any knockout tie, the encounter at the Amsterdam ArenA suggests there should be no shortage of goalmouth action when the sides come face-to-face for the second time.
Responsible for 24 of the 38 shots on goal taken by both sides in an amazingly open game, Peter Bosz’s may even have felt slightly disappointed to see the scoreline end up at only 4-1 - particularly given their opponents' own prolific potential.
Having scored 20 goals in seven Europa League matches since dropping down from the Champions League (including a 7-1 home victory over AZ,) Les Gones will certainly not be giving up hope of overturning the deficit against more Dutch opposition.
GoalWith top scorer Alexandre Lacazette set to return from the injury that kept him out of the starting line-up last week, it is not hard to see Lyon grabbing the three goals required to get back into the tie - having struck three or more in nine of their last 13 home matches.
However, considering they have also conceded in all seven of their Europe League matches, odds of 10/11 (1.91) seem like strong value on over 3.5 being scored against an Ajax side that has found the net in all but one of their 15 European games this season.
