Lyon take a patchy history into the Champions League third qualifying round. Their European play-off record reads three eliminations and two qualifications, and they visit Sparta in Prague on Tuesday at 20:00.
Le Progres notes that summer play-offs are not quite a lottery, yet there is a touch of chance about them.

The club have faced these hurdles several times in Europe, with outcomes that have not consistently favoured them.
The combination of Prague away and a tie staged in high summer adds a degree of difficulty that Lyon understand well.
This first leg against Sparta presents another examination, shaped by that uneven record.
