FC Porto – Lyon : Preview & Prediction
It is one of the most eagerly awaited matches of the Europa League round of 16. OL made a big impression in the group phase of the competition, finishing top of their group with five wins from six games. Lucas Paqueta’s club were able to avoid the round of 32 (or the play-offs). However, the Rhone club will face a tough test in their first match of the finals. They will have to face FC Porto in this double-header. And Peter Bosz’s men are far from convincing in Ligue 1. They are only in ninth place in the French league, with only one win in their last three games. A complicated situation when they travel to Portugal! Leaders of the Liga Primeira, FC Porto have won two games in a row in all competitions. Sergio Conceiçao’s side, who were knocked out of the Champions League group of death, also beat Lazio Rome in the previous round of the UEFA Champions League, winning 2-1 at home. The Portuguese club will try to do the same in the first leg against OL.
