Lyon vs Celta Vigo Prediction
Both sides continue to trade goals in tight sequences
Both teams have scored in five of Lyon’s last six matches across all competitions, a run that defines the scoring pattern around this tie. The only exception came in a goalless trip to Le Havre at the weekend, which briefly interrupted an otherwise consistent trend.
Celta Vigo bring a matching profile. Goals have landed at both ends in each of their last four games, including the 1-1 first leg and another 1-1 draw away at Real Betis on Sunday. That sequence keeps the same scoreline rhythm intact across different settings.
There is a clear balance in how this tie has unfolded so far. Lyon needed a late equaliser from Endrick in the first meeting, leaving the aggregate finely poised, and that late shift adds weight to another exchange of goals rather than a controlled outcome.
At Parc Olympique Lyonnais, the second leg naturally carries more urgency, yet the numbers point to familiar territory. Five of Lyon’s last six and four straight involving Celta have followed the same scoring pattern, which keeps both teams firmly in the frame again, and Both Teams To Score makes plenty of appeal at 1.80.

Repeated 1-1 scorelines shape a narrow outcome
Lyon’s recent results have settled into a very specific pattern. Four consecutive draws define their current stretch, and two of those have ended 1-1, locking in a narrow margin with limited separation between sides.
That same scoreline carries into Celta Vigo’s recent run. The 1-1 from the first leg was followed immediately by another 1-1 draw at Real Betis, creating back-to-back identical outcomes that mirror Lyon’s sequence.
There is also a structural element to the tie itself. With the aggregate level after a late Lyon equaliser in the first meeting, the second leg naturally leans towards another tight finish, where neither side has created distance across recent results.
Even the goalless draw at Le Havre sits as a minor deviation rather than a shift in pattern, as the surrounding run continues to produce draws and repeated scorelines. Across both teams, the 1-1 outcome has appeared multiple times within a short window and across different competitions.
Two recent 1-1 draws for Lyon and consecutive 1-1 results for Celta keep that exact scoreline hard to ignore, and 1-1 looks a decent bet at 6.00.
