hese two sides have met on 3 occasions in recent years, and Lyon was better twice while Benfica won once. That victory for Benfica was in their most recent affair in the previous round of the group stage. Since the hosts suffered a significant dip in form, and are struggling even in their domestic league, I can’t see them making much of an impact in this clash. Moreover, the hosts won just 3 of their last 10 home matches, while the visitors were triumphant in 9 out of the last 10 away clashes, they even kept a clean sheet in 6 of those games. After looking into all those facts, it all points out that we will see another away victory of Benfica with both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals
