Lyon finished fourth in Ligue 1 last season, earning a place in the qualifiers. They are two rounds from a return to the group stage, last reached in 2020. Their summer form has been uneven, capped by a 4-0 defeat to Betis Seville in their final friendly.

Sparta have already begun their campaign, with two Chance Liga outings. Runners-up to Slavia last term, they opened with a 1-3 loss to Brno before beating Zlin 3-1.

Under Brian Priske, Sparta reached the Champions League group phase in 2025-26 after knocking out Shamrock Rovers, Steaua Bucharest and Malmö.
