Rangers - Lyon: Form Analysis
Rangers made a very impressive start to their Europa League campaign, heading to Sweden and coming away with a solid 2-0 win over Allsvenskan champions Malmo a fortnight ago.
Following that result, the Gers returned to the Ibrox at the weekend and ground out a 1-0 win over Hibernian to extend their current win streak to four in a row. In league terms, they’ve only suffered one defeat in six, which came in the Old Firm Derby last month.
At home, the Light Blues have won all three of their league games, while their only loss in all competitions this season came against Dinamo Kyiv during Champions League qualification.
Notably, Rangers have gone over 370 minutes of football without conceding a goal!
Meanwhile, Lyon also kicked off their Europa League season with a victory, beating Olympiakos 2-0 at home thanks to second-half goals by Ryan Cherki and Said Benrahma.
However, their Ligue 1 form this season has been fairly unimpressive, with seven points earned from their first six games of the campaign via a record of two wins, one draw and three losses.
On the road, the Gones have played three times this term, splitting their results one win, one draw and one loss, though they did fail to score in three of those games.

Rangers & Lyon Squad Analysis
Philippe Clement is likely to be without at least four players for this match, including forward Rabbi Matondo, who is ruled out for the remainder of the calendar year owing to a hamstring issue.
Joining the Wales international on the sidelines this week will be Oscar Cortes (knock), Danilo Pereira (knee) and Ridvan Yilmaz (thigh), all of whom are ruled out due to injury.
For the visitors, Galatasaray loanee Wilfried Zaha is flagged as a doubt for this match after picking up a knock in the Ligue 1 victory away to Toulouse last week!
Should Zaha be unable to feature here, Ernest Nuamah is the most likely to replace him in the three-man attack alongside Alexandre Lacazette and Said Benrahma.
However, after scoring the winner last weekend, Malick Fofana has also put himself in contention for a spot in the starting 11. Moussa Niakhate is the only other known injury doubt.
