"Starting with the hosts, while BSC Young Boys might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign with their sights set on recapturing their domestic crown, the Swiss giants have continued on a real rut this season. Last seen over the weekend getting 2026 underway with another nightmare display as they slumped to a shock 3-1 loss at home against Lausanne, the pressure on Gerado Seoane's shoulders has now reached a boiling point."
"As for the visitors, while Lyon might have been dealing with a string of public financial issues behind the scenes last season as they eventually clung to their Ligue 1 status, the French giants have enjoyed a stellar run this time around. Last seen in European action clinching a 2-1 victory at home against the Go Ahead Eagles, Paulo Fonseca's men have their sights firmly set on mounting a genuine Europa League charge in 2026."
Lyon travel to Switzerland to face BSC Young Boys after clinching Europa League qualification and winning six consecutive matches across competitions, including a 2-1 victory over the Go Ahead Eagles and a 2-1 league win at Brest. Lyon have 15 points from six European fixtures and aim for a Europa League charge in 2026. Young Boys have suffered heavy domestic defeats, losing three consecutive Super League matches by an aggregate 12-3, including a 6-2 loss to Grasshoppers, and a recent 3-1 home defeat to Lausanne. Manager Gerardo Seoane faces increased pressure amid defensive concerns.
