FC Porto vs Olympique Lyonnais Prediction 9 March 2022
The Europa League round of 16 match, in which Porto will measure their strength with Lyon, has been set for the coming Wednesday.
Three months without defeat, a confident lead in the Portuguese league and excellent chances to take the national Cup - Porto are very cool right now. In autumn, the Dragons finished third in the Champions League group with Liverpool, Atlético and Milan. And already at the end of winter they passed Lazio (2:1, 2:2) already in the Europa League.
Lyon also started in the second most important tournament of the Old World, where in the quartet with Rangers, Sparta and Brøndby took the first position. However, in Ligue 1, Les Gones are not so good in the middle of the peloton without much chance of improving the situation. The day before, they defeated outsiders Lorient, 4:1, which improved their mood at least a little.
On paper, Porto are stronger, but Lyon can create some difficulties for them. We look forward to a match on a collision course, where at least two goals will be scored.
