French giants Olympique Lyonnais have not had much going their way and they will be out to get their season back on track when they play host to Italian side Alatanta on Thursday 28th September in this Group E encounter of the UEFA Europa League. Atalanta are on their first ever appearance in the competition and started well with a 3 – 0 win over Everton which places them atop the standings and they will be hoping to build on that though it will be tough against Lyon, semi finalists in last season’s tournament. Lyon have won just once in their last five matches, picking three draws and a loss in the other four matches and will be hoping to make their home advantage count in this game. They have gone unbeaten in their last eight matches at home and have four straight wins in the Europa League at home. In their last five home matches, Lyon have won three and drawn two, scoring 14 and conceding seven goals. They have lost just three of their last 17 Europa League matches at home. Atalanta on the other hand are unbeaten in their last six matches and head to the game with three wins and two draws in their last five matches. They have two draws, a loss and two wins in their last five away matches, scoring six goals and conceding six. This will be the first ever meeting between the two sides.
