Real Betis step back into Europa League action on Thursday night, welcoming Lyon to the Estadio La Cartuja for Matchday Four. With the group stage nearing its midpoint, this clash could carry significant weight in the race for knockout qualification.
Betis sit 16th in the league-phase standings after three outings. They opened with a 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest, where Antony rescued a late point in front of the home crowd. Manuel Pellegrini's side then looked sharper in a composed 2-0 victory over Ludogorets.
Lyon arrive in Seville in a rich run of continental form. Paulo Fonseca's group have taken all nine points available, scored five times, and are yet to concede a single goal. They edged Utrecht 1-0 with substitute Tanner Tessmann grabbing the winner. That was followed by a 2-0 victory over Red Bull Salzburg and another composed 2-0 result against Basel on Matchday Three, where Corentin Tolisso and Afonso Moreira found the net.
