Europa League

West Ham v OL Lyon 07.04.2022 betting tips

West Ham United host Olympique Lyon in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League quarterfinal tie on Thursday evening at London Stadium. Thursday’s first-leg tie in east London could indicate this season’s possible Europa League winner as these two top contenders square off. The Hammers have enjoyed a fine run in the competition but face a tough test against their French opposition in the quarter-finals.

This will be the first time West Ham and Lyon have met in their history and only the third time the Hammers have faced French opposition. The Irons met FC Metz in the Intertoto Cup in 1999. For Lyon, this will be the 10th English club they will face in their history. They played English teams 23 times in their history picking up eight wins, eight draws and seven losses. They have only picked up one win – against Tottenham Hotspur – in six matches against clubs from London.

Lyon boast a seriously impressive record against clubs from these shores. In fact, they are currently unbeaten in six matches against English sides. Most recently eliminating Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in 2019/20, a one-legged affair in Lisbon in which Moussa Dembele bagged a brace.
