Getting their Europa League quarter-final adventure underway on Thursday night, Manchester United will travel to France when they meet Lyon.
Although the Red Devils might have snatched an uninspiring 0-0 stalemate at home against arch-rivals Manchester City last weekend, Ruben Amorim’s men have drastically failed to find any kind of stability and European success appears to be the only way of salvaging a nightmare campaign.
While Lyon might not steal many of the headlines ahead of Thursday’s showdown, Les Gones are enjoying what has become quite the purple patch and the French outfit are more than capable of springing a public upset over the next week.
With all eyes falling on the Parc Olympique Lyonnais on Thursday night, we have taken a look at some of the most appealing Lyon vs Manchester United Bet Builder Tips that are available.
Lyon regarded as a Europa League dark horse
Making an immediate return to winning ways last weekend as they came from behind to claim a 2-1 win against domestic rivals Lille, Lyon are enjoying what has become quite the flurry.
Extending on their Europa League campaign last month as they stormed their way to a thumping 7-1 aggregate win against Romanian outfit FCSB, Thursday’s hosts are dreaming of the chance to collect a heavyweight scalp over the next week.
Heading into March’s international break with an action-packed 4-2 win against Le Havre, Paulo Fonseca’s side have won six of their previous seven appearances across all competitions.
Skyrocketing their way up the Ligue 1 standings and within touching distance of finding a route into the Champions League spots, Les Gones are more than capable of asking some serious questions here.
It should also be noted, Fonseca’s camp have won their last four consecutive showdowns at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais by an aggregate score of 12-4.

Everything riding on Fernandes
While Manchester United might have continued to show some glaring issues since Amorim’s arrival at Old Trafford back in November, their talismanic skipper has enjoyed a personal flurry so far this calendar year.
With the Premier League giants drawing consecutive blanks since returning from March’s international break, Bruno Fernandes will once again have a huge amount of pressure on his shoulders.
Spearheading United’s charge to the Europa League quarter-finals last month after bagging a sensational hat-trick against Real Sociedad on March 13th, the former Sporting Lisbon star has clearly been Amorim’s key attacking figure.
Likewise, heading into March’s international break with a goal against relegation destined Leicester, Fernandes has registered 10 strikes across all competitions since opening the New Year.
With the Red Devils firmly placing all of their eggs in the European basket, the 30-year-old will be looking to once again steal all of the headlines over in France.

Another golden audition opportunity for Cherki
While Rayan Cherki might have eventually stayed put at Lyon during the January transfer window following serious interest from German giants Borussia Dortmund, the 21-year-old is once again attracting serious European admirers.
Coming off the bench against Lille over the weekend and bagging a famous winner, Lyon’s academy graduate finds his stock at a red-hot high.
Featuring for France during the Olympic Games adventure last summer, Cherki has registered 16 direct Ligue 1 goals contributions in his 24 domestic appearances so far this season.
Likewise, recording a staggering eight Europa League assists this year, no play in the tournament has recorded more and Cherki should see Thursday’s showdown at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais as a golden audition opportunity.
It should also be noted, Lyon’s playmaking star has registered 16 direct goal contributions in just his last 12 appearances for club and country.
