Villarreal vs Lyon Prediction & Betting tips
An intense and even match will be the one held by Spaniards and Frenchmen in the Madrigal. After 3-1 won by Lyon in the first leg, it is logical that the procedure be opened from the initial stage. Because of this and knowing that the “Yellow Submarine” will risk, we believe that the best option is to bet on the bet “both teams score”. Paint to be a duel with goals like the one that occurred last Thursday.
Villarreal :
The defeat suffered in the first leg was painful for the Spaniards, as they deserved better luck by handling the ball for a long time and generating different scoring situations. Now they will try to stay alive in the competition, having to win at least 2-0 to qualify. The problem lies in the risk you must take to get to concrete the 2 goals as minimum you need to pass.
The team comes to equalize 1-1 against Espanyol as a visitor, staying with anger after giving up the tie with just a few minutes left. With 38 points in the table and 3 games without a win, their chances of qualifying to the next Champions are becoming less and less. Of course, despite everything, it is still a compact and stylish under the command of coach Javi Calleja.
Lyon:
The French come from 2-2 against Lille as visitors by Ligue1, staying in fourth place with 49 points in total. He has added 4 games without being able to win, noticing a drop in terms of results. Therefore, it should not surprise us that he is 6th and 7th to qualify for the next Champions League (third place in Marseille and second place in Monaco).
The positive thing for the Gauls is having won the first leg and added a win with two goals difference. Of course, can not be trusted, since the Spanish scored a goal as visitors, which can be vital for the tie. The goal of the squad is to take advantage of the spaces and do damage with the cons. They need Depay, Fekir, Traoré and Mariano Díaz to appear.
