The match is finely balanced after the first leg in France finished all square at 1-1.
United breezed past Sporting Lisbon, Dynamo Kyiv and Roma this season at home.
That gave them a firm foothold in the group stages and they finished first in style.
Asked why United are so formidable at Old Trafford in Europe against top teams, Ferguson replied: "We have been good."
He added: "Our home record in European football has been the foundation of our group successes.
"I have said it many times you need ten points to qualify. If you get three home wins it is a big help. It means you only need a point on the road.
"The atmosphere at Old Trafford helps. There is a big stimulant for the fans to come to European nights.
"The players also increase their expectation levels to do well in these games."
Lyon extended their lead at the top of the French League at the weekend when they defeated Lille in front of a record French crowd of 78,000 at the Stade de France and Ferguson expects a difficult game.
