Ajax v Lyon

The Europa League reaches the semi-final stage this week, and French side Lyon travel to Ajax in a spot of bother after losing five of their last nine matches. Ajax by contrast have won seven of their last ten, so will be confident of banking a first leg lead in this tie - especially given that their strong home form has seen them collect 41 points from a possible 48 in Eredivisie this season.

It’s not all doom and gloom for the away side though, as they can look for inspiration from their talismanic striker Alexandre Lacazette. The Frenchman has netted 30 goals this season already, including 17 away from home and has opened the scoring in 10 of the 39 games he has played in. With 18 strikes in his last 22 matches he is in super hot form, and should be backed e/w to open the scoring at 9/2 tonight.
