CSKA Moscow vs Lyon Preview
CSKA Moscow have recently returned to Russian Premier League action after the lengthy winter break, which will have helped a little bit in terms of regaining their fitness. They won 1-0 against Ural at the weekend, with key player Alan Dzagoev scoring the winner.
For the home side, Aleksandr Golovin will return to the starting 11 after he has served his one-match ban. They have now lost Vasili Berezutski to suspension though. Timur Zhamaletdinov and Aleksei Berezutski were on the bench on Saturday, though Georgy Schennikov remains a doubt and Viktor Vasin is out.
Lyon had to fight hard for a point against Montpellier on Sunday, with the match finishing as a 1-1 draw. Their form has been okay recently, but they have had more draws than they would have hoped for recently.
The big news for the French side is that Nabil Fekir is a major doubt ahead of the trip to Russia. He missed the draw with Montpellier and will face a late fitness test for this. Rafael is out injured, but Fernando Marcal is back from suspension.

CSKA Moscow vs Lyon Prediction
CSKA Moscow have a really strong defence, as they are yet to concede a goal in 2018. They have kept a clean sheet in their first 3 competitive matches this year and are in a good position to do so again on Thursday.
Lyon have won 3 of their last 10 matches, and can’t seem to put a few wins together. They also have a really bad record in Russia, having not won their in three attempts.
Though Lyon are the slight favourites to win the tie, they may go into the second leg behind, due to how good CSKA are at home. Do not expect many goals in this contest, as there have been under 2.5 goals scored in 8 of CSKA Moscow‘s last 9 games in the UEFA Europa League.
The tip is for CSKA to win the game and take an aggregate lead to France for the second leg.

Due to the nature of European competition, there are usually very little head to head statistics to see. In this case, there are absolutely none, as these two sides have never met each other in competitive action.
Each side will know what to expect from the other, but they have never met each other 11 vs 11.
