Hi guys!
Zenit will hold the first match of the Champions League on September 17 in France, but whether the champion of Russia will manage to get points in a game with Lyon.
Lyon
Lyon broke up with almost all its leaders in the off-season, which affected the game of "weavers" at the start of the season. In the championship team Silviño played already five matches in which couldn t fully justify forecasts of fans - while the club only the sixth in the tournament table with eight points in an asset.
T here is already a lag of four points from the PSG leader, which, judging by Lyon 's game in the last rounds, will only increase over time. In the last round "weaving" gave another non-transparent match with Amien, having missed a victory in the last seconds. The 2-2 draw extended Lyon 's series without victories to three matches.
Zenit
Zenit also has difficulties in the national championship - from the former confident leadership there is no trace. Despite the fact that the Peter club goes the first in the table, already in this tour Krasnodar again bypassed it, having taken in the match three points, and Rostov has a chance to compare with Zenit on points after the meeting.
Having issued a short series of two matches without victories against Ahmat (0-0) and Ufa (0-1), blue-white-blue corrected and managed to win the last two meetings. First the team of Sergey Semak took the heaviest three points in the game with Spartak (1:0), then in the last round easily and easily dealt with Arsenal, having defeated it with the score 3:1 on the field.
Statistics and personal meetings
- Lyon have not lost in any of their last five home matches - three wins and two draws
- Lyon missed just one goal in their last three home games
- Lyon have not lost in any of last season 's four home matches within the Champions League
- In only one of the last three away matches Zenit was able to score more than one goal
Lyon, after selling the leaders, are in search of their game, so that to the start of the Champions League "weavers" failed to approach in optimal form. However, on their field "weavers" represent a serious force - last season neither Barcelona nor Manchester City at Park Olympic Lyon could win, and this season at home Lyon has not yet lost.
Zenit plays closed football and today will certainly also bet on it - Russians clearly will not take risks and will rely on counterattacks. Lyon will try to take the game into its own hands and get a victory, but in its current state to cope with saturated and experienced defense of the rival it will be extremely difficult to it.
Lyon – Zenit 1(-1) with 2,24 for 5% of bank
