Fiorentina vs Olympique Lyonnais
Uefa Champions League, 20h45
Fiorentina is the most unpredictable side in Italy. They have a lot of talent in the squad. La Viola are so good going forward. You just have to love them.
With Mutu up-front there's always show guaranteed and Gilardino makes sure the balls get into the net. There are also young talents like Montolivo in the middle of the pitch, Vargas on the left and Santana on the right that make defence really difficult for any team they are facing. The coach Prandelli is an attacking-minded person, so we can always expect a good treat of football up for grabs.
Now, Fiorentina have a mountain to climb if they are to qualify for the knock-out stage of the top-flight European competition, as they are on 3 points and five behind Lyon.
Lyon will assure qualification if they can grab at least a point tonight. That makes them take a resilient approach to the game. I fancy the French side to get something on the breaks, with the likes of Benzema or Govou always threatening figures for the opposition. Still, they have good skill in the squad with a great free-kick specialist in Juninho Pernambucano, an offensive minded midfielder (Kim Kallstrom), and good attacking full-backs.
I predict goals scored by each side tonight. The value is 3/5.
