Steven Gerrard’s side Rangers hosts Olympique Lyon this week for a match in Round 1 of Europa League 2021/22 in Group A. The match will kick off at Ibrox Stadium (Glasgow) at 8 pm (UK) on Thursday, September 16, 2021. Read our reasons for the Rangers vs Lyon match prediction and betting tips.
After winning the championship last season and successfully defending it this season, the Rangers have been performing admirably. It is currently in first place in the standings, having played five games and suffered only one defeat. It will be up against the French powerhouses, Lyon, and this will be a difficult test for Gerrard's team. Rangers' manager, on the other hand, is confident in his team's ability to prevail.
Rangers will never forget how they were eliminated from the UEFA Champions League Qualifiers by Malmo. Lyon will have a difficult time dealing with it now that it is in the UEL and has an excellent record, particularly in European games. Last Saturday, Rangers were unable to contain St Johnstone at Ibrox Stadium, defeating them 2-1. After setting a new record for the most goals scored in a single season in European football, Alfred Morelos should be on your radar for the Scottish giants.
Lyon has won the Ligue 1 championship seven times and was the first team to reach the quarterfinals in 2017. Additionally, it will face the star-studded Paris Saint-Germain in its first Europa League match of the week on Thursday. The team, on the other hand, is ready to face the Rangers on Thursday and come out on top. So far in Ligue 1, the team's performance has been satisfactory, as it now occupies the 7th position with 8 points after five games. However, it was pleased to defeat Strasbourg 3-1 last weekend, which was the team's second victory of the season.
Lyon has only met the Rangers three times in their history, which isn't that extensive. The most recent one occurred in the Club Friendlies in 2020. In European football, Rangers face Lyon in the first round of the UCL group stages, a match that ends in a 3-0 victory for the Scottish club. In the second game, though, Rangers had their just desserts, falling behind 3-0 at the Ibrox Stadium. When his team takes on Lyon, Gerrard will be hoping for a positive mental attitude, no matter how mediocre.
Rangers (4-3-3): McLaughlin, Bassey, Helander, Balogun, Tavernier, Kamara, Davis, Aribo, Kent, Morelos and Roofe.

Lyon's experience in a challenging Ligue 1 may have made them a more formidable opponent when they head to Glasgow. Last weekend, the French team was impressed with a magnificent goal from Dembele, as well as Denayer's outstanding effort. The fact that Rangers on paper may look easy to beat, it has a good record for home matches. Thus, Lyon should be wary of the team's ability to win at home. Morelos is the player to keep an eye on in the Rangers squad, as he has scored in two of the team's three opening matches in European football. Bettingkick’s Rangers vs Lyon prediction is Lyon to win or draw.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
