Lyon vs Porto. Will the Dragons be able to take revenge for the defeat at Dragao?
On Thursday, March 17, in Lyon, the team of the same name will host Porto in their arena.
In the Bundesliga, over the last 9 rounds, "pharmacists" have suffered only one defeat. In the standings, they occupy 3rd place, ahead of three teams at once by 4 points (Freiburg, Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig). Moussa Diaby (8 goals and one assist in the last eight matches) and Patrick Schick (20 goals in 20 rounds of the German championship) stand out from the squad. By the way, the Czech is now an assistant to the team, as he injured his calf muscle in the game against Mainz 4 weeks ago.
In the 1/8 finals of the Europa League, Bayer got from first place in Group G, having won 4 wins in six matches.
Porto
In the championship of Portugal, Porto has not suffered a single defeat in 25 rounds and has only drawn 4 times. Nothing threatens leadership yet, because the gap from the nearest pursuer, which is Sporting, is as much as 9 points.
The European Cup season began for the Dragons with the Champions League. They ended up in a very difficult group "B", in which they won only one victory, and took third place, which gave them the right to continue fighting in the Europa League. In the 1/16 finals, the Conceição team defeated Lazio: a strong-willed victory at home (2-1) and a draw in Rome (2-2) with a goal conceded in injury time.
The upcoming battle should be interesting and emotional. We believe that the intrigue will last until the very final whistle, so the plus handicap should come in absolutely without problems: “Porto with Handicap (+1.0)” for 1.35. In general, we allow ourselves to disagree with the quotes of bookmakers, and we advise you to boldly consider betting options in favor of the "dragons", which now look more confident and stable than the "weavers": "Porto More (1.0)" for 1.65 or "X2" for 1.68.
