Rangers vs Lyon: betting odds 3 Oct 2024

The successful start to the European campaign by Rangers and Olympique Lyonnais has given fans of both teams hope for a promising season. In Glasgow, the French side will look to press with their star-studded attacking lineup, although the Scottish side also boasts a strong offensive selection.

After suffering a heavy defeat in the Scottish Premiership against Celtic (0:3), Rangers successfully reset during the international break. In the second half of September, the team secured four consecutive victories, with the away match against Malmö (2:0) being fully under their control. In Sweden, the Scottish side scored within the first minute and ended the match with 2.37 xG on 17 shots — the coaching staff effectively managed despite the absence of Danilo Pereira and Rabbi Matondo.

Since the start of the season, Olympique Lyonnais have hit the total over 2.5 in four out of seven games. A setback in their clash against Olympique de Marseille (2:3) allowed the team to work on their mistakes — against Olympiacos Piraeus (2:0), Lyon's attack was lightning-fast (1.25 xG and 17 shots). Over the weekend against Toulouse (2:1), the team secured a comeback victory thanks to a late goal by Malick Fofana — they have the ability to turn matches around with their character and the ambition of their bench players.

At Ibrox, Rangers and Olympique Lyonnais are set to entertain neutral viewers with exhilarating football. We suggest betting on the total over, as both the Scottish and French sides are formidable in attack.
