Lyon v Man Utd Betting Tips Preview
Lyon v Man Utd– Live on Sky Sports 1, k/o 7:45pm
After the mauling of Arsenal in the FA Cup, the big games come thick and fast with a tough tie against Lyon in the Champions League. United’s Champions League form has been fantastic this season, remaining unbeaten and only conceding four goals. With Ronaldo leading the Champions League scoring charts, he’ll be determined to continue his wondrous form and against a fragile Lyon defence. Although Lyon are traditionally strong Champions League participants, they have not been impressive this year, with Lyon recently losing to Le Mans in Ligue 1. However, with wonderkids such as Benzema and Hatem Ben Arfa both in red hot form, expect the resilient United defence being tested. Bookies have placed Man Utd as favourites, pricing them at 13/10 (betfair) to get the away win, while Totesport have priced Lyon at 15/8 to take advantage of this tie.

There was a lot of transfer speculation in the papers this week about a possible move for Karim Benzema to Man Utd, but with the way Giggs, Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez are playing of late, I don’t think they need him. That quartet have been sensational of late and that’s why I think United are nailed on to win here. With Vidic and Ferdinand, they look very solid at the back – less so when one of the two is missing – but I can see them going over the France, keeping a clean sheet and scoring. Lyon are easily the best team in Ligue 1, but I think Man Utd will win.
Recommendation: 1-0 Man Utd @ 11/2 bluesq
