Lyon vs CSKA Moscow Europa League 15 March 2018

Lyon vs CSKA Moscow – Europa League

In one of several matches of this Thursday’s football day in Europe

Counting for the second round of the UEFA Europa League round of 13, Lyon will face Olympique Lyonnais Park in the city of Lyon, and the visiting side of CSKA Moscow, with the teams returning to meet at this time, and in the previous meeting there was a victory of the French 1-0 in Moscow.

Lyon
The home team is having a very positive season so far, namely in European terms, where already in the previous eliminatory eliminated one of the teams with more history in the test, that happened to the elimination of an Everton that is typically a strong team also, in European terms.

The team comes from a good game phase recently, following with three consecutive games without knowing what it is to lose, adding two triumphs by the minimum margin in their last two matches.

CSKA Moscow
As for the Russians, they enter this meeting to need not only to score in France, but also to triumph, having lost in their stronghold in the first leg of this tie, which throws them into a much higher requirement for this second match, with the team having the opportunity to follow up their European campaign in the Europa League after having eliminated Red Star in the previous round after the fall of the Champions League.

The team have come from two wins and one defeat in their last three matches, this after the winter break, and their home defeat to the French is even the only spot in the second round of the Russian champions’ season.

Prediction Lyon vs CSKA Moscow:

After a first very balanced meeting and where only one goal was scored, I expect exactly a similar match, given that there is already a team in advantage on the undercard, which does not force it to attack, while the other has to do for life, but on a terrain also complicated.
