“Depay has scored in his last six Champions League matches and is on penalties. The fact that he is ex-Man Utd is one more motivation, if necessary.”
Top Scorer Back Depay – [16.0]
The city
It’s been hard to control Manchester City this season.
After all, who would have said in August, it is August 2019, that they would lose nine Premier League games this season?
Although they have largely continued to fight their way beyond wrestlers, City has had notable unrest towards the more productive groups, and that will have to be a fear ahead of the final stages of the Champions League in Lisbon.
Against the seven most sensitive in the Premier League, Pep Guardiola’s have lost seven of their 12 games this season.
City controlled to set that Real Madrid record last week with a 2–1 victory in Etihad to seal a 4–2 victory.
They won a lot of praise for their performance, but some of them were a bit of an exaggeration.
No doubt the City’s defense has improved, as many have said, since the comeback of Aymeric Laporte, but the Royal still created some clever occasions and things could have been others if Karim Benzema had ruled one of them at the beginning of the moment. .
At the other end, the City scored only thanks to two horrific mistakes by Raphael Varane.
Guardiola faces the possibility of calling Benjamin Mendy as a left-back after his suspension. Joao Cancelo played well against Real.
The Spaniard surprised with his variety that night, betting on Phil Foden as a component of a three-man striker, and the tactical fit could well take place here.
General midfielders
If so, it may pass in midfield, the dominance in which Lyon was inspired by last season’s Champions League organizing games against City. They won 2–1 in Etihad and then drew 2–2 in France.
There has been a management replacement since then and some player changes, however, new boss Rudi Garcia has rebuilt in the middle of the park following the loss of Tanguy Ndombele behind the Spurs and this dominance has attracted attention while Lyon eliminated Juventus in two. legs on the last lap.
Houssem Aouar has played all season and is now joined by the young Bruno Guimaraes, who arrived in January, and Max Caqueret, who has held a position since his winter breakthrough.
The trio only canceled the Juve’s creativity in both games, but the three also presented things for the future.
Facing City will be an even more complicated challenge, but his younger dynamism (none of them has yet turned 23), combined with the well-rested team, means that the war will at least be fought vehemently.
A imaginable weakness is their ability to protect the centers – the Juve had some joy in this domain last week – and they will have to limit Kevin de Bruyne’s delivery. Don’t be surprised if the Belgian continues to deviate from the right to see and swing his occasionally devastating balls.
For registration, KDB is 6/5 for assistance.
Lyon can stay close
The city itself is [1.27] for victory and I don’t see any price on that.
As already noted, they have endured many difficulties this season and Lyon will have the quality at least to remain competitive.
I don’t want the French, who have also beaten Benfica and the semi-finalist RB Leipzig this season, to win the adjustment at [13.5] (the tie must go back to [7.0]), but Lyon is worthy of attention to Asian disadvantages.
They are at [1.88] on the 1.5, 2 line, which means a loss of purpose is a gain. If they lose for two transparent purposes, they lose part of their bet.
Goals, for both, probably
However, I must deal with the target markets.
Despite City’s propensity for goals, I’m rarely excited about the on/under line in its games: more than 2.5 is at least bigger than the same as usual at [1.61] but it’s still not high enough interim.
Instead, I prefer the [2.14] proposed in team scores.
This has happened in the last six City Champions League matches and, his blank sheet has been smart since the blockade, most of his recent matches have opposed limited opponents.
BTTS has landed in five of Lyon’s eight at this festival and if you’re going to locate the target, there’s a chance Memphis Depay is on target.
Memphis howl
This would not seem to be the case on his social media, however, the Dutchman has matured in the more than two years, fitting into any of the components of his club but also of his national club.
Depay has scored in his last six Champions League matches and is on penalties. The fact that he’s ex-Man Utd is one more motivation, if necessary.
The defensive aspect of the City game remains a fear and I just don’t see why Depay [16.0] is presented to score the first goal.
It is before [5.2] in the scoring market at any time, as Depay still feels the way back after knee surgery and may be replaced in the middle of the moment.
Made of opt
This will be the third UEFA Champions League match between Manchester City and Lyon; No team has faced the Citizens with more opportunities at the festival a victory than Lyon (P2 W0 D1 L1).
