Crystal Palace's quest for a second European trophy resumes this week as they take on Lyon in the Europa League.
Lyon come into this game 4th in Ligue 1 with 11 points from six games. The French club have enjoyed a decent start to the season and will believe they have a good chance of making a dent in this competition.
The French side dropped into the Europa League after being knocked out of Champions League qualifying at the final stage, losing to Fenerbahce over two legs.
Lyon's form heading into this game is good, winning three, drawing one and losing one of their last five. At the weekend, Lyon were beaten 2-1 by Lens.
Their opening game in this competition saw them secure an impressive 2-1 win away at Anderlecht, a very good result all things considered.
Four of their last five games have seen over 2.5 goals scored, showing Lyon aren't they type of side to turn up and play for a point.
Crystal Palace come into this game 12th in the league with seven points from six games. After a poor start to the campaign, Palace look as though they're now starting to turn a corner under Pierre Sage.
The Eagles enter this game with two wins and one draw from their last three games, with performances significantly improved. Pierre Sage's men beat Lech Poznan 4-0 in this competition, before drawing 0-0 away at Leeds and beating Nottingham Forest 3-1 at the weekend.
As such, they come into this game in good shape, but they're playing a very good team on their own patch so we think they might have to settle for a point.
Lyon 2-2 Crystal Palace
