Sad news for Olympique Lyonnais and its supporters. The Rhone club would only have a 7% chance of winning the Europa League, according to the probabilities published by the X account
Football Rankings. While the Gones have not won up titles since 2012 (a French Cup against Quevilly), the year 2025 should not be the one that will sacred them champions.
Worse still, OL should not qualify in the semi-final of the competition, still according to these calculations, after the draw between the Lyonnais and Manchester United this Thursday evening at Groupama Stadium (2-2). The Red Devils should be finalists with 24% chance of winning the title.
To establish these predictions, Football Rankings is based on the state of form of each team still in competition. During the league phase, the Lyonnais finished 6th in the ranking while the Mancunians had finished at the foot of the podium in third place.
Bilbao winner of the Europa League!
The happy winner of the C3 should be the Athletic Club Bilbao with 25% chance. Second in the League phase classification, the Spanish club had won its qualification in the quarter -finals against AS Rome. After conceding a 2-1 defeat in the first leg, Bilbao had reversed the home trend by winning the 3-1 return match.
Opposed to the Rangers in the quarterfinals, the Basques conceded a draw (0-0) this Thursday. During the return match, which will take place next Thursday in Glasgow, Bilbao will have the advantage of being at home and should be able to overcome the Ecossais according to data from
Football Rankings. But will these predictions have reasons? See you next week for the back-fourth-final return matches of the competition.
