Match Preview
Lyon
Lyon had the unfortunate luck to be in the same group as Real Madrid, as the Spanish team is in a great shape this year. Lyon managed however to get the second spot in Group D with 8 points, recording two victories, two draws and two losses. The team recorded a victory, a draw and a loss at home, and does not look as solid as in previous Champions League seasons. The french team has lost only once at home in this stage of the tournament some 6 years ago to AS Roma. Overall home record in this stage of the tournament is W4 D3 L1. Lisandro Lopez as expected has the lowest odds for Lyon to score in this match, priced @ 1.72 followed by Bafetimbi Gomis @ 2.37.
APOEL Nicosia
APOEL Nicosia managed to get on the top spot in Group G, around quality teams like FC Porto, Zenit, and Shaktar Donetsk. The team managed to avoid defeat, visit all of those 3 teams recording 3 draws. Overall away record this season W2 D3 L1, where the team has conceded only 3 away goals and has kept 3 clean sheets. Overall the team managed to score 6 goals in the group stage and conceded as many, making them the team with the least scored goals that topped a group. The odds for clean sheet on Tuesday night for APOEL hold a great value priced @ 5.50. Esteban Solari is priced to score in this match @ 4.50 at anytime.
Prediction
No previous meetings between these two teams. Lyon is has lost a home game in the Round of 16 only once in 2006. The team is appointed as the favorite for this match and based on their performance and statistics is supposed to win. Lyon are aware that to have chances to advance further in the tournament they would need a victory here for sure. Back Lyon to win this match @ 1.44 with William Hill.
APOEL has had so far a solid defense, managing to conceded only 3 goals away from home, and 6 overall in the group stage. Lyon has managed to score only 2 goals in one of their three home games.
