Goals are expected in Groupama Stadium

Lyon qualified to the knock out games and now finishing in the second place of the 6th group, behind top favorites Manchester City. Although they surprised their big opponent in matchday 1 that took place in Etihad (1-2), Bruno Genesio's team didn't manage to register a second win in the next 5 games of the group. However, they remainedl undefeated in the group with a 1-5-0 record. In their most recent game for the French Ligue 1 they won 2-1 over Guingamp in Groupama Stadium. Brazilian defender Rafael will be missing once again, as well as team's first scorer Nabil Fekir due to his suspension.

Barcelona remained also undefeated in the group stage, having a 4-2-0 record they finished first in the 2nd group. In their most recent La Liga game 'Blaugrana' won 1-0 vs Real Valladolid in Camp Nou, not so easy. Lionel Messi scored from the penalty spot in the first half. Arthyer and Rafinha will miss another match because of their injuries, in contrast to S.Umtiti who is 100% fit.

In their last six h2h games, Barcelona didn't suffer a single loss (4 wins, 2 draws) from Lyonnais. Their most recent h2h games were for the last 16 of the same competition, back in 2009, Barcelona registered a 6-3 aggregate win. Lyon have the worst defensive line of the teams that continue in the last 16 of the competition, they conceded 11 goals. Although they can easily score, their defensive problems cause them trouble and Barcelona are going to be a difficult opponent for them. Barcelona are the definietly the favourites in this one, however BTTS is a pretty 'safe' choice.
