Lyon and Barcelona meet in the 8th round of the UEFA Champions League final. The confrontation will be played on Olympique Lyonnais Park from 20:00 on Tuesday.
No less than 6 duels were played between the two bands, all in the UEFA Champions League. The balance is four wins for “Catalans” and two draws, but the last confrontation dates back to 2009, when Barcelona was able to score on the ground with the score of 5 to 2, the game in the 8th finals return.
Bruno Genesio’s band was one of the most spectacular bands in the group stage, with 12 goals scored, but 11 received, with just one victory and no less than five draws. All three home games ended with the same score, 2-2, Manchester City, Shakhtar and Hoffenheim.
Team captain Nabil Fekir is suspended for the tour of this double, while Tanguy Ndombele, Jason Denayer and Marcelo are uncertain.
In the previous weekend, the “Catalans” managed to interrupt a series of 3 games in a row without a victory, with 1-0 victory at home, 1-0, the only goal of the match being scored by Lionel Messi, who also missed a 11-meter lead in the 85th minute.
In the Champions League, Barcelona was part of B, alongside Tottenham, Inter and PSV Eindhoven, the group that Messi & co. they managed to win with 14 points, with two victories and a draw traded.
Probable teams
Lyon: Lopes; Marcal, Marcelo, Denayer; Mendy, Aouar, Ndombele, Tete; Depay, Dembele, Cornet;
Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Semedo, Pique, Lenglet, Alba; Busquets, Vidal, Rakitic; Dembele, L Suarez, Messi;
Goals should not miss out on this confrontation, given that Lyon’s defense has an average of nearly two goals per game this season of the UEFA Champions League. Barcelona is clearly starting with the first chance, but our attention will be on a minimum goal bet in both halves and also a minimum goal scored by Lionel Messi.
PREDICTION: Over 2,5 goals @ 1,50
