Lyon vs FCSB Prediction

When assessing both these two teams both from an individual and team perspective, Lyon appears to be the better side and that was reflected in the first-leg. The French side triumphed by three goals to one away from home and have one foot in the quarter-finals already. It’s a mountain for FCSB to climb at this point, especially as you have to factor Lyon’s attacking players, who should create more chances for themselves.

On their own ground, the chances of Lyon blowing a two-goal aggregate lead are extremely slim and it’s more likely that they extend the margin and move on to the last eight relatively comfortably. Therefore, back a Lyon victory in this one by at least two goals, as we saw back in the first-leg.
