Man Utd v Lyon: Go for the overs at Old Trafford | OneFootball

Bet of the Day

Andre Onana will need to be on form this evening

Andre Onana returns to action for Manchester United tonight and Tobias Gourlay expects Lyon to keep him busy

Man Utd v LyonThursday 20:00 (Live on Discovery+)

In Spain last night, Arsenal beat Real Madrid 2-1 to take down our bet on the hosts.

We're in Manchester today for the second leg of United's Europa League tie with Lyon. The pair are locked at 2-2 after last week's first leg in France, and there could be more goals on the way tonight.

Since September 2022, United are W8-D2-L0 at Old Trafford in this competition. In this current, erratic campaign alone, they are W4-D1-L0. But, having failed to win any of their last four across all competitions, can they be trusted at an odds-on price? We prefer to focus on the goal markets.

Lyon are unbeaten in 12 on the road in the Europa League (W9-D3). This season, both teams have scored in 4/5 of those outings, with the same fraction hitting Over 3.5 Goals. The French outfit have netted 13 times across those five outings and should pose a threat to the home defence tonight.

Andre Onana will be between the sticks for United, despite the first-leg mistakes that saw him dropped for the weekend's loss to Newcastle. They might have gone unbeaten at home in the competition to this point, but United have managed just a single clean sheet from five appearances at Old Trafford. They've netted 12 in 5 themselves, with two of the last three reaching Over 3.5 Goals. We'll back them to get over the goals line again tonight, with some help from their similarly prolific visitors.
