Lyon take on the visitors Dinamo Zagreb in the round 1match of the Champions League group stage. The game will be played at Parc Olympique Lyonnais on Wednesday, September 14th.
Lyon aren’t in their best conditions as the team lost their two recent league matches, 2-4 to Dijon and 1-3 to Bordeaux. The hosting side has only two wins after five matches. Despite suffered defeats, Lyon weren’t a worse side in these matches and could’ve count on draws as the least while the loss to Bordeaux was recorded due to Gonalons sent off in the second half. The French side failed in Champions League last season so they have to learn from that experience and avoid failure this time.

Dinamo was showing quite successful results in domestic league until the very last match when they suffered their first defeat to Osijek, 0-1, and got dropped on the second place in the standings. Croatian champions played 14 matches in all competitions so far and it was their first loss and it can be explained with Dinamo’s focus on upcoming Champions League battle. We should note that Dinamo are on 11-match undefeated run in away matches since the end of March.
Lyon and Dinamo Zagreb faced one another in season 2011/12 when both fixtures were won by French side, 2-0 and 7-1. Lyon are favorites of the upcoming match as well even in the view of disappointing results in the league. Bruno Genesio’s men are set to battle for playoffs and they shouldn’t accept any other results at own turf except victory.
Prediction for the match: Lyon to win.
