Their home form is not to be messed with, however.
They are W9 L1 in their last ten matches on home turf.
But Lyon have won only one of their previous four home fixtures against Scottish opponents in Europe.

In their last seven first-team matches, Glasgow are W3 L4.

That was after falling from the pool stage of the Championship Cup.

Glasgow did face French opposition in the Pool stage of the Champions Cup this season, losing both matches against La Rochelle.
