Match Prediction
Lyon has maintained its counter attacking style in this season. It also helped them getting their win at the Man City earlier in this season. So, according to the prediction, it could be said that the game would be intense from the beginning and can give an early goal. But as if the opponent is Barcelona, so there are chances that the first half will not account goal to any of the team and the rest half will destine that which team wins or loses. Looking at both the teams, one would easily expect Barcelona to grab the win of the tomorrow’s kick-off.
