Yet again, Lyon meets Real Madrid in the Champions League.
The previous three times, Real went home with nothing, losing with 3:0, 2:0, 1:0. In the return games on Bernabeu, Lyon always managed to get out a point, so in six games, the French team is unbeaten against the Spanish Grand.
Currently Lyon are 4th with 41 points, only 4 points behind the current leader Lille. The team has been unbeaten in the group stage of Champions League, recording 2 victories and a draw, but placing 2nd overall.
Real Madrid, are currently second in La Liga, 5 points behind Barcelona. While the team is unbeaten at home, their home record away is W7 D3 L2. In Champions League Real picked up 16 points in 6 games, winning all 3 home games, and winning 2, drawing 1 away from home. Real Madrid shot 52 shots on target during the group stage, more than any other team. With Mourinho on the lead, the team will seek revenge, for the past 3 defeats in the tournament by Lyon.

According to the statistics, Real hasn’t scored on Stade Garland, in the past 3 trips of the Champions League, while the team conceded a total of 6 goals.
If we trust the statistics enough, this game should be again a home victory, priced at 4.50. However, once again as I have mentioned this a lot before, Mourinho can really make a difference.
In last year’s edition of the tournament, while the statistics were in favor of his opponents I always stuck behind him and his Inter, and never got it wrong. Therefore I will again back Real Madrid, mainly because of their brilliant manager, to finally find a way to beat Lyon, something they haven’t been able to do in 3 Champions League seasons.
