Lyon have won 7 of their last 8 matches (Europa League). Lyon have scored at least 3 goals in their last 3 matches (Europa League). Lyon have kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 7 matches (Europa League). There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Lyon's last 3 games (Europa League). Brondby IF have failed to win their last 6 matches (Europa League).
Rasmus Wikstroem is still sidelined for Brondby when they welcome Lyon on Thursday. Kevin Tshiembe and Henrik Heggheim are in competition to start at centre-back. Anis Ben Slimane and Christian Cappis are in competition to start in midfield. Andrija Pavlovic and Simon Hedlund are in competition to start up front. Malo Gusto returns from suspension for Lyon but Jerome Boateng is now one yellow card away from a one-match ban. Gusto's return is timely as Leo Dubois misses out here. Lyon's players should be fresh after their game with Marseille on Sunday night was abandoned in the first half. Jason Denayer was in the matchday squad against Marseille after injury. Jeff Reine-Adelaide and Moussa Dembele are still missing. Lyon have already secured first place in Group A so there is wriggle room to give young fringe players the chance to impress. Youngsters like Rayan Cherki and Castello Lukeba will hope to get minutes on Thursday.
Brondby are bottom of Group A but they are only two points off second with two games to go. The Danish side could, however, be eliminated this week if they are lose and there is a winner in the other game. Lyon have secured top spot with two games to go. They have a 100 per cent record with four wins from four and can now rotate their side accordingly, though they will want to continue winning ways. It's difficult to gauge how a team that has already qualified will fare but Lyon are the superior side. They won 3-0 in the reverse fixture. 0:2
