AS Roma, in turn, fail to impress in recent matches, losing to rival Lazio in the first leg of Coppa Italia semifinals and losing 1-2 to Napoli in the league, who are their closest competitors. Such results put the season on the verge of failure for Roma. The visiting side have eliminated strong Villarreal in the previous round, beating them on the road, 4-0, and losing 1-0 in meaningless home fixture. Roma played 20 matches on the road this season, taking nine wins, recording five draws and losing six of these matches.
The opponents have faced one another in 2007 when Italian side were stronger on aggregate, 0-0, 2-0. Considering impressive results of Lyon a own arena and quote average results of the Wolves in away matches, we can expect home side to prevail in upcoming match.
Prediction for the match: Lyon to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
