Manchester City and Lyon will be competing in a single round of the Champions League Quarter Finals, which awaits us on Saturday, August 15. Danny Makkelie is the referee of the game, which will be played as a neutral in Jose Alvalade Stadium as of 20:00.

Manchester City:

Having hosted Real Madrid in the first match of the Champions League Round of Last 16 matchup and managed to return home advantageously with a 2-1 victory, Manchester City compensated for the disappointments in the English Premier League and England FA Cup with the victory of Real Madrid. After the pandemic, Pep Guardiola and his team, who won 2-1 again with the goals of Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus last week, made a good start to the giants scene after 5 months. We can say that City is the favorite of the tour for the last cup of the season.

Lyon :

The surprise team of the Champions League is Lyon. This season, the French representative exhibited a great success with the results he received on the giants stage. Rudi Garcia and his team, who managed to win the first game 1-0 against Juventus and gained a great advantage by not scoring at home, got the tour ticket even though they lost to Juventus 2-1 after the pandemic. Lyon, who had a lot of difficulty in the second match against Juventus, gave his team hope with his performance, Depay, who survived the injury and scored the only goal of his team. While Lyon is the weak link of the tour, it’s never an easy bite.

Aiming for the championship in the Champions League and being among the favorites with its performance, Manchester City will overcome the Lyon obstacle by winning differently.


PREDICTION: Over 2,5 goals @ 1,55
