Olympique Lyon vs Real Madrid
Uefa Champions League 1st Knock-out stage 1st leg, 20h45
Real Madrid has been ousted three times by Lyon in the last 5 years in the UCL. The French outfit have a great record of three wins and three draws against tonight's opponents. Real Madrid has not progressed beyond this stage of the competition for six years now.
But Mourinho has a good record against Lyon and a very good season at Real Madrid. Expect Real to attack as The Special One said his teams will always try to win the first leg in a knock-out competition. That's his approach and he won the Uefa Champions League with Porto and Inter, so he must be convincing enough.
Lisandro Lopez is not available for the hosts.
I tip Real Madrid to win tonight at 9/10.
