Scoring is their advantage

After Lyon's huge win against Manchester City in 'Etihad' for the opening game of the group stage, they also won twice in Ligue 1. However, their average performance afterwards and the 1-1 draw with Nantes put them in 5th place of Ligue 1. B.Genesio didn't make any rotation, it was his players who didn't perform as well as we were used to see them the previous weeks. I'm almost certain that Lyon will improve tonight, even though their fans won't be on their side due to suspension.

Shakhtar have always being a strong opponent in this level of the tournament.They usually have a better performance in away games and they are also very effective in counterattacks. They are comfortably in the top of Ukrainian Premier League, in their last game they had a huge win (6-1) in Karpaty Lviv's home.

The 4.50 at Ukrainian team's win is quite tempting, however, even though the game will take place in an empty field, I chicken out! I prefer a 'safer' choice on goals. BTTS is my call.
