Lyon vs Benfica Prediction & Betting tips
Olympique Lyon and Benfica both have the prospect of a place in the last sixteen of the Champions League. The two teams in France will face each other on Tuesday evening.
Olympique Lyon:
Olympique Lyonnais seems to have left behind the weak form of earlier this season. The trainer change that implemented the club lead has a gently encouraging effect. The new man Rudi Garcia achieved better results than his predecessor Sylvinho. Last weekend the Ligue 1 won for the second time in a row. Partly due to two hits from Memphis Depay, the full booty was caught on a visit to Toulouse (2-3). However, Lyon is still only in the middle bracket in the ranking.
This European round of play naturally reflects the third day of play. Then Lyon went to visit Lisbon. Due to a hit by Depay, who reacted attentively to a pass, Les Gones seemed to be able to take a point back to France, but goalkeeper Anthony Lopes went horribly into error in the final phase. As a result, Lyon lost the match 2-1, putting them in the bottom of the group with three points.
Benfica:
Benfica did what it absolutely had to do in the previous round. After two days in the billiard ball, the Portuguese were still empty-handed. In the home game against Lyon, a victory was therefore desired. Benfica did not play really well two weeks ago at Estadio da Luz. They took the lead, but after the equalizer coach Bruno Lage’s team lost the initiative. The Portuguese came fairly cheaply to the winning 2-1, although Pizzi did respond attentively to Lopes’ error.
After the French victory, Lyon won three consecutive victories in its own country. Often the team plays matches in their own league against lesser clubs. An example of this was the match last Saturday, when Benfica won 2-0 against Rio Ave in Lisbon. For now, they are the leader in the Primeira Liga. Benfica has been performing poorly on strange European soil lately. Only one of the last nine matches in the Champions League led to a victory.
