THE PREDICTION
Lyon have suffered from an inconsistent run of form in Ligue 1, winning two and losing two of their most recent domestic fixtures and they travel to Portugal for this Europa League round of 16 first leg tie with a huge task on their hands when factoring in the form of their opponents. FC Porto in contrast have not tasted defeat in all competitions since 7th December, an unbeaten run of 18 fixtures with 15 of those ending in victory for Sergio Conceicao’s side. What has proven particularly impressive about Porto recently has been their goalscoring exploits and having racked up nine goals across their most recent four games, they have every reason to feel confident about this encounter. With home advantage in their favour, Porto will be expecting to take a lead with them to France for the and provided they maintain their levels shown across the past few months, then they should achieve that, so back the hosts to come out on top in this first leg.
