Porto host the first leg in this deciding Europa League Round of 16 game. Olympique Lyonnais will try their very best to bring a solid result back to Parc Olympique Lyonnais before the return leg in 10 days.

Olympique Lyonnais have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

These are hectic days for the team playing at home, as they had a game only three days ago in the Primeira Liga. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Pacos de Ferreira.

Porto form and stats

Porto participated in Champions League the last season, where they reached the group stage.

Happy days for Porto in their previous game, a fixture away at Pacos de Ferreira that ended with a 4-2 victory. The versatile forward Evanilson outperformed all the other footballers in that fixture and received a match rating of 9.32 out of 10.

Olympique Lyonnais form and stats

4-4-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Olympique Lyonnais in their Ligue 1 matches away. The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Europa League stats, they have 5 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses both home and away.

Lyon play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-1 victory visiting Lorient. Midfield player Faivre was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.93/10. Faivre scored two goals, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 5 of 8 times and had 62 successful passes (of 73 total).

A quick return to home after this game, as Olympique Lyonnais are hosting Rennes in the Ligue 1 only four days away.

Lyon have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 13 league away games 15 goals have been scored. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Olympique Lyonnais have conceded 19 goals in these away matches.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
