Tuesday, starting at 20:00, will play the game Ol. Lyon – Manchester City, in the 5th round of the Champions League.
In the tour tour, the French from Ol. Lyon had “dropped” the Etihad and beat the score 2-1 after the goals scored by Cornet and Fekir. At this meeting, “Citizens” have created not less than 23 occasions.
Olympique Lyon is ranked second in Group F of the Champions League, with a total of 6 points won – 3 lengths behind the “citizens” and 3 other points in front of the Germans at Hoffenheim, the main rivals for qualification in the next phase of the competition. The Franks are unbeaten in the group stage – since the Etihad victory, Genesio’s students have scored 3 consecutive draws. A new tie could not be enough for the semi-finals of the 2010 edition, as Hoffenheim will respect its coat of arms against Sahtior. That is why we expect the host band not to defend themselves in defense on Tuesday’s duel. We also point out that Manchester City ex-defender, Denayer, will be present from the first minute in the center of Lyon’s defensive team.
On the other hand, from the “accident” against Lyon, Manchester City went “watch” in the Champions League groups: 3 matches, 3 wins. Thus, the students of Pep Guardiola settled in front of Group F. At the same time, the “citizens” came after eight consecutive coaches in all competitions, their morale being at “astronomical odds”. Looking ahead, Guardiola will not be able to bet on injured Kevin De Bruyne, Claudio Bravo and Benjamin Mendy this time. Still, the Iberian coach will be able to use Bernardo Silva, who has been absent lately, from the first minute.
Probable teams Ol. Lyon – Manchester City
Ol. Lyon (3-4-3): Lopes – Denayer, Marcelo, Morel – Rafael, Ndombele, Aouar, Mendy – Fekir, Depay, Dembele.

PREDICTION: Manchester City to win @ 1.43
