Lyon take on Manchester City in the Champions League Group Stage – Round 5. The match will be held on Tuesday, November 27th at Parc Olympique Lyonnais (Lyon).
In this season’s competition, Lyon have already got the victory over Manchester City, the monster of the world football. We can hardly expect another win like that. Actually, Lyon are inconsistent this campaign. One the one hand, they remain unbeaten in this Champions League, on the other, they have three 3 draws and 1 win only; mostly, these draws happened in the end of the games when the team lost their chances to win. The situation does not look very promising if we consider this. Moreover, in the French championship, Bruno Genesio’s side hold yet the 4th place, though the team were considered the main opponent to Paris Saint-Germain in their struggle for gold medals at the beginning; and defense is certainly the main concern. Lyon do not record many shutout wins even when it comes to clashes with losers of the local championship. In 3 LC matches, 1 match versus Shakhtar and 2 versus Hoffenheim, they allowed yet 7 goals which is really a lot!

Manchester are crazy indeed now, showing the great football. They get confident victories match in match out; though their strength does not always reflect in the scoring lines (they normally win with 1 or 2 goals), their play looks like 5:0 in each encounter. The only Citizens defeat was to Lyon in the 1st CL round, so there is no doubt the response will be very tough. The City can easily score 6 goals per game now, and, given the hosts’ current problems in the defense, a pouring of goals may certainly be expected in the latter’s net.
We predict Manchester United to win in the upcoming match. The margin for this confident prediction is quite good as for now. It will go down significantly closer to the game.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win away.
