Olympique Lyon Take on Bayern Munich in Uefa Champions League Semi-finals
After shocking Manchester City in the Champions League quarter-finals, Olympique Lyon will be looking to claim yet another major scalp in the elite competition as they take German champions Bayern Munchen at Estadio Jose Alvalade. Les Gones are likely to stick to their defence-minded approach, but preventing the Bavarian giants from scoring is easier said than done.
The Bundesliga champions recorded a historical 8-2 win over Barcelona in their game in the previous round, and it is no wonder they are seen as hot favourites to win Wednesday’s showdown. Bayern has no injury worries ahead of the game as all their players are complete and ready for the encounter.
Bayern Munchen knows how to break the deadlock when playing against defence-oriented teams, and we are positive that they will move one step closer to winning their sixth Champions League (European Cup) trophy. Youssouf Kone is likely to miss the game with injury for Olympique Lyon, while defender Benjamin Pavard is out of contention for the Bavarians. In their last meeting in the Champions League Bayern Munchen outplayed Olympique Lyon 3-0.
