Lyon vs Benfica Lisbon Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Daniel Ngulu in Champions League Prediction
Olympique Lyon, third in Group G of the UEFA Champions League, will be hosting Portuguese side Benfica who are bottom on of the group in Match Day 4 of the competition. Ahead of this game, Lyon have four points and Benfica three. A win for Lyon could see them go top of the group, while one for Benfica could see them rise to second. This is one of the most open groups in the competition. Benfica beat Lyion in the previous round and Lyon will be hoping to get one back at them here. Going to this clash, Lyon have two straight wins, scoring five goals in the process and conceding two. They however do not have a very good run at home, with just one win in the last six home matches. They have two straight clean sheets at home though.
Benfica head to this game on the back of five straight wins. They have also scored in 13 of their last 15 matches and will be seeking a second straight win over Lyon. Their only away loss in the six matches they have played this season, has come in the Champions League, at Zenit. They have won the rest. Benfica have four clean sheets in the last five matches and have conceded just one goal. They have scored two or more goals in four of the five, and among the teams they have beaten is Lyon. It has not been as rosy in the Champions League though; in their last seven matches, they have two wins only. Meanwhile, they have three straight losses in away matches in the competition and they have no clean sheet in the last 11. Competitively, these two sides have met thrice, and Benfica have two wins, Lyon one.

Our Lyon vs Benfica Lisbon Prediction
Benfica head to this game on a very good run, with five straight wins. However, their run away from home is not the best, and especially in the Champions League. Lyon have not won much at home either, but they also haven’t lost. They have six straight draws at home in the Champions League. However, Benfica have not been so good away from home, with three straight losses and no clean sheet in 11. By this, we are backing Lyon for a win here.
