Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Lyon Prediction & Betting Tips (27 November)

An end to the league phase is looming for Maccabi Tel Aviv, 34th out of 36 with one point. The Israeli champion, however, remains with serious defeats against Dinamo Zagreb 1-3, Midtjylland 0-3 and Aston Villa 2-0 since he is 4 points behind the top 24 qualifying for the play-offs. As for the Championship, Maccabi, runner-up to Hapoel Beer-Sheva, has not played since November 9, the date of a heavy defeat against its closest pursuer, Betar Jerusalem 2-6. Opposite, Lyon saw victory slip away for the first time in this league phase, at the start of the month, against Betis Sevilla 2-0.

The Rhone club, winner at the start of the campaign against Utrecht 0-1, Salzburg 2-0 and Basel 2-0, however remains very well positioned in the ranking, in 7th place. His first European blunder came in a run of 4 games without winning before the international break. OL therefore had to wake up last Sunday on the pitch at Auxerre, as a dress rehearsal for the fifth day of the Europa League. 

The Israeli squad will be well supplied for this meeting despite the probable new withdrawal of the important midfielder Belic and the central defender Camara (holder). Israeli international Dor Peretz (8 goals in all competitions) is the leader of this team. He was valuable in the qualifying campaign but has not yet unlocked his counter in the league phase. The young striker Abu Farkhi is the only Maccabi player to have scored in the first 4 days, a symbol of the poor contribution of the offensive elements.  Olympique Lyonnais must continue to evolve without replacement defender Kluivert and long-term absentees Fofana, Mangala and Nuamah.

At the same time, Paulo Fonseca welcomes the return of his captains Tagliafico (left side) and Morton (midfielder) compared to the last Ligue 1 match. The Europa League represents for some a good opportunity to put themselves at the front of the stage like the young midfielder De Carvalho (20 years old), used entirely over the first 4 days. Among the attackers, Satriano and Moreira (1 goal each) are the only ones to have scored in the league phase. 

• Summary: Maccabi Tel Aviv is going head to head with Olympique Lyonnais starting on 27 Nov 2025 at 20:00 UTC at Gradski Stadion stadium, Backa Topola city, Serbia. The match is a part of the UEFA Europa League .
