FCSB vs Lyon Prediction (06.03.2025)

FC Steaua Bucharest will host Olympique Lyon in the first leg of the Europa League round of 16, with both teams in good form. The hosts performed excellently in the previous round, eliminating PAOK with an aggregate score of 4:1, and their unbeaten streak now stands at eight consecutive matches. Lyon, on the other hand, last recorded a 1:1 draw against Ludogorets in their previous match and remains undefeated as a guest in the tournament this season.

FC Steaua demonstrates stability at home, having lost only one of their last five matches at their stadium in the Europa League. At the same time, Lyon shows stability in their visits, still without a defeat as a guest in the competition. Both teams have attacking players, but given the importance of the match and their tendency to be solid in defense, the game will likely be tactical and balanced.

A closely contested match is expected, where both teams will be cautious, seeking a good result before the second leg. Considering their form and performance balance, the option of a draw seems like a reasonable choice for this match.
