Eight teams are still competing for the Europa League this season, and Opta’s statistical analyses show a mixed picture of Lyon’s Olympic prospects. According to these data, OL’s chances of winning the competition are only 10%, reflecting a considerable challenge to other competitors. Opta’s expertise also suggests that the Lyon team would experience a major difficulty in winning Manchester United in their match, with a probability of qualifying in the semifinals estimated at 38.1% compared to 61.9% for the Red Devils.

In the event that Olympique Lyonnais managed to overcome the obstacles and qualify for the semifinals, his chances of competing in the final would be only 18.4%, and the probability of winning the competition would be 9.9%. The French team currently ranks sixth among the eight clubs still in the title race. It should be noted that according to Opta’s projections, the Athletic Bilbao appears to be the favourite to win the trophy, with a probability of 25.1%, placing the Basque team at the top of the competition.

Despite these statistical predictions, Paulo Fonseca players have the opportunity to contradict these analyses during their confrontation with Manchester United, scheduled for 9pm. The meeting will therefore be crucial, and the Lyon team will have to deploy all its determination and talent in order to reverse the trend and achieve a victory in the Europa League.
