Betis vs Lyon prediction: EUROPE: Europa League – League phase betting tips on match 2025-11-05 20:00.
[p]Real Betis have returned to form recently and put their unbeaten UEFA Europa League (UEL) record in 2025/26 on the line when they face high-flying Lyon in round four of the competition on Thursday evening.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Following a three-game winless streak during October (D2, L1), Real Betis have responded well with back-to-back victories in the Copa Del Rey and La Liga, scoring ten times and conceding only once. Manuel Pellegriniâs side also bring strong European form into this clash with just one defeat, when they lost to Chelsea in last seasonâs UEFA Conference League final, from their last ten major European games (W4, D5). Betis have subsequently made a solid start to this UEL campaign (W1, D2), keeping clean sheets in their last two games, while also suffering just one defeat in their last nine European matches at home (W5, D3).[/p]
[p]Lyon come into this fixture on a four-match unbeaten run (W2, D2) after they too had a slight wobble in October with successive losses in Ligue 1. They drew 0-0 away at Brest on Sunday, an impressive result considering they were reduced to ten men after eight minutes, and have lost only one of their last five matches on the road across all competitions (W2, D2). That run includes a 1-0 win away at Utrecht in round one of this UEL campaign, one of three victories without conceding so far for Paulo Fonsecaâs team who have not lost any of their last 12 European away games over 90 minutes.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
