Lyon vs Salzburg Match Prediction 2 October 2025

We believe that Lyon is a rightful favorite in this match. The French club has been performing well recently, winning game after game. In the new season, Fonseca's team has scored six wins in seven games, and they have all been convincing. On the other hand, Salzburg does not seem to be in good form at the moment, and there is no reason to expect them to perform well on the road. We suggest betting on Lyon to win this match.
