Lyon Vs Crystal Palace Preview

As far as Crystal Palace are concerned, they head to France with renewed confidence after getting the better of Oliver Glasner’s Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Palace have only faced a Ligue 1 side just once before, going down 2-1 to Strasbourg in last season’s Conference League.
Lyon Vs Crystal Palace Team News
The likes of Lois Openda, Moussa Niakhate and Mohamed Ouedraogo are ruled out for Lyon. Czech Republic international Pavel Sulc is likely to fill the void left by Openda with Ernest Nuamah, Corentin Tolisso and Keito Nakamura in support.

Dean Henderson, Jean-Philippe Mateta, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Chadi Riad will all miss the trip to France. Ismaila Sarr is likely to be on the bench with Jorgen Strand Larsen leading the line.

Lyon Vs Crystal Palace Prediction
Although both sides have entertained winning starts, Lyon’s recent home form gives them the advantage against a Crystal Palace side that endured a sluggish start overall to the 2026-27 campaign. Therefore, we are going to predict a narrow win for the Ligue 1 side.
