RB Leipzig vs Lyon Prediction & Betting tips

Hangover with the cops in Leipzig. The first season after a nearly perfect start into the new season always feels particularly hard. The team of Julian Nagelsmann, however, has no time to lick the wounds long, because already on Wednesday it goes on in the Champions League, a competition in which the Saxons still gain experience.

Only for the second time RasenBallsport is represented in the premier class. Fortuna was reasonably fortunate for the draw this year, so the knockout stage could be a realistic goal. With a home win against Olympique Lyon, RB Leipzig would take a very big step in the right direction this week.

Currently, the Bulls lead the ranking with three points after a 2-1 victory at Benfica on Matchday 1. They are followed by Olympique Lyon and Zenit St. Petersburg, who drew in a draw. If things are going well for RB on Tuesday, then the lead in third place could be extended to five points. That would be a great snapshot.

The prerequisite for this would be a win at home against OL. Most cops only know this enemy from television, let’s just say from the young Leipzigers who came from Ligue 1 to Saxony. Julian Nagelsmann has twice played against Olympique Hoffenheim and shared the points twice. Today, the conditions are different and therefore in the game between RB Leipzig and Lyon the prognosis is towards a home victory.

This is all the more because the Germans have so far convinced in almost every game this season. The opponent from France, however, has great problems for weeks to get the undoubtedly existing power on the lawn. Therefore, we assume that in the match between RB Leipzig and Lyon a tip on three points for the bulls is the most logical choice.

The Saxons must be careful, however, that they can not be blinded by the recent results of OL, because the French team has quality and has a lot of international experience. This is an advantage that can be invaluable in the premier class. The kick-off for the second matchday of the Champions League between RB Leipzig and Olympique Lyon in the Red Bull Arena on 02.10.2019 is 20:00.

RB Leipzig:

So far this season, we are taking a deep breath off RB Leipzig, as Julian Nagelsmann has managed to put his style of football to the team in a matter of weeks. The coach has a strong squad anyway and that’s why the cops may even be a candidate for the German championship this season.

In the table, the Leipzig slipped last weekend after the first season deficit. With 13 points, the Saxons are in second place in the classification and have a counter less than the Bavarians at the top of the account. The Leipzigers are still in full demand. However, Julian Nagelsmann has announced that he wants to present the fans a trophy.

In the eight competitive games of the ninth season RB Leipzig has conceded only one defeat. There is no reason to doubt the style of the bulls in any way. If they return to normal form on Wednesday, then there is plenty to suggest playing the odds of a home win in the group match between RB Leipzig and Lyon.

However, the Bulls lost 3-1 at home to Schalke last weekend at home. Leipzig certainly had chances to take the lead, but the visitors were the more aggressive and cold-blooded side that day, leading 3: 0 before Emil Forsberg scored the consolation goal in the closing stages.

On Wednesday we expect a reaction of the Saxons. This must come too, because the respect for OL is very big with the cops.

Captain Willi Orban knows that you will not get anything with an average performance. Therefore, an increase of RB Leipzig will be mandatory in the Champions League.
In terms of personnel, Julian Nagelsmann can almost get his full potential. Still missing only Tyler Adams, Kevin Kampl and Hannes Wolf. That it will come to rotation-related changes, should be clear. However, we will not know how much the coach will change his team until Wednesday.

Lyon:

What’s up with Olympique Lyon? The French are certainly among the best teams in Ligue 1, but not always you get the power on the lawn. Maybe that’s because of the new coach. Under Sylvinho it does not work, so that the coach is enormously in the criticism. His credit is almost completely lost.

However, this can also be justified relatively simply, since Olympique Lyon has been without victory for seven games. In the table of the French league OL is after eight matchdays with only nine points in eleventh place. The cushion on the relegation ranks is just a meager counter. The days of the coach seem to be numbered.

This is followed by two away games in Leipzig and at the bottom in Saint-Etienne. Should not win at least one victory in both games, then Lyon should look for a new coach. All in all, these are not good conditions for predicting an away win in the match between RB Leipzig and Lyon.

After it was in the last week of England in the newly promoted Stade Brest only to a 2: 2 handed Lyon last weekend at home to Nantes 0-1. The bad luck is sticking to this team at the moment, because the winning goal for the guests scored OL defender Fernando Marcal by own goal.

No wonder that the executive suite of OL is by no means amused. Club legend Juninho, now serving as sports director, currently has little faith in the team’s skills.

He said that apparently every team can win against Lyon. His criticism of team and coach is devastating.
Actually, there must be some changes in the lineup. Fernando Marcal could be his own goal against Nantes to doom. Otherwise, we can also imagine three to four more changes. Overall, there are currently no injury-related problems with the Lyonnais, but all the more worrying about it.
