Man United's have been tighter, making Thursday's game unpredictable. Lyon's strong home form and defensive vulnerabilities contrast with Man United's Europa League success, suggesting the latter could secure a draw to keep the tie competitive before the second leg.However, the sheer attacking talent on display for Lyon – with players capable of individual brilliance – can't be discounted. If they click and exploit United's own defensive inconsistencies, an upset isn't out of the question. Ultimately, the game hinges on whether Lyon's attack can overpower Man United's pragmatism, or if United can effectively stifle Lyon's creativity and grab a crucial away goal. A cagey affair, dictated by tactical discipline, seems more likely than a goal-fest, reinforcing the draw prediction as both teams will be wary of conceding an advantage heading into the return leg at Old Trafford.
