The French side can get level on points with visitors with a win.

Olympique Lyonnais will welcome Eintracht Frankfurt to the Groupama Stadium in what promises to be an epic UEFA Europa League (UEL) showdown. Lyon will have a huge task in hand because of what Frankfurt brings to the table. Les Gones have enjoyed good form in the competition and are placed seventh with 10 points from three wins, one defeat and a draw. They have been firing on all cylinders and have scored 11 goals in their last three outings across all competitions.

Eintracht Frankfurt on the contrary are the favourites coming into this game. The German side are undefeated in the competition so far and come into this fixture with four back-to-back wins. They dropped points in the Bundesliga for the first time since October and will be keen to bounce back to winning ways. Frankfurt will count upon their consistency and flawless run on the road to take them over the line in this game.

Players to watch 

Malick Fofana (Lyon)

Malick Fofana has established himself as one of the most influential players for Lyon despite not having a lot of minutes under his belt. Fofana has only played 277 minutes in the UEFA Europa League so far and has recorded the most number of ball progressions as a non-defender. With three goals and one assist, the striker is also leading the charts for the number of goal contributions for Lyon in Europe this season.

Omar Marmoush (Eintracht Frankfurt)

Omar Marmoush is undoubtedly one of the most in-form players in the world right now. He is operating on a different level and has been fun to watch. The Egyptian international has been involved with five-goal contributions (3 goals, 2 assists), the highest in the UEFA Europa League goals this season. His goal-scoring prowess has made him one of the prime candidates to win the European Golden Boot at the end of the season.
