The magic of the cup as Olympique Lyonnais greet Bayern München visitors in Champions League tie

Champions League betting and spectator preview: Olympique Lyonnais and Bayern München meet at Estádio José Alvalade to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.

Best bookmaker betting odds:

Olympique have less rest than Bayern München in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Champions League game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Manchester City.

Olympique Lyonnais form and stats

Olympique participated in Champions League the last season, where they reached the 8th finals and lost against Barcelona.

Olympique Lyonnais have collected 19 points from their Ligue 1 home games so far after 5-4-4. On the other hand, in the Champions League, Olympique Lyonnais has performed like this (both home and away): 4 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses.

It's back home for Olympique, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Manchester City away with the result 3-1. Maxwel Cornet and Moussa Dembélé (2) found the net in that victory. Nobody expected Olympique Lyonnais to beat Manchester City in the last match, but sometimes David beats Goliath. A Champions League defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Juventus.

Olympique Lyonnais goalkeeper Anthony Lopes did an outstanding job against Manchester City with six saves, so vital to securing the victory.

Olympique Lyonnais are traveling soon after this match as the Ligue 1 match at Montpellier awaits in four days.

Olympique Lyonnais are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 13 games. Olympique are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estádio José Alvalade in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 7 from 13 matches.

Bayern München form and stats

They also participated in Champions League last season. This ended in the 8th finals, when Liverpool drew the shortest straw.

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 13 wins, 2 draws and only 2 losses in the Bundesliga. Total Champions League statistics for Bayern München: 9 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses. In general it has been a productive period now for München as they haven't lost any of their last 20 games. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Borussia M'gladbach game have they lost an away game, meaning München has taken points from ten away matches in a row.

Two travels in a row for München, whose manager H. Flick could celebrate last time after the Champions League win against Barcelona. Prior to that match, a home win 4-1 against Chelsea in the Champions League.

As mentioned above, München was the only team on the pitch versus Barcelona in their previous game, winning 8-2. This could be a tougher task.

Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset. We checked our Tipsway database for earlier, recent games with München given similar win odds in an away game. This check revealed 20 matches with 17 wins as expected, three draws and zero surprise home wins. The favourites won ten of these games by at least two goals.

Today's guests are confident travelers having scored 47 goals in 17 league games away this season. As opposed to that, München have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last four meetings: zero - one - three (Olympique wins - draws - Bayern München wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.
