Question

Wednesday:UEFA OLYMPIQUE LYONNAIS ML [FT] -110*To borrow a line from kenpom, here are "Four Factors": 1) Lyon MUST win in order to even have an opportunity to advance, 2) if Real Madrid can win in Amsterdam, Lyon also have to ensure that they close the gap on a goal differential of 7 between themselves and Ajax, 3) Zagreb&#x27;s results in Champions League this season and Europa League last season illustrates just how wide the talent gap is between the Croatian League and the major European leagues and 4) if you&#x27;ve read up on the first leg (which resulted in a 2-0 Lyon win) and/or seen any of the highlights on YouTube, you&#x27;ll know that the first match wasn&#x27;t even close to being competitive.With Lyon healthy, motivated and beginning to hit their stride in Ligue 1, I have a really hard time seeing anything but a win by the visitors in this one.

I hit Lyon pretty hard, I missed out the chance of getting it at -115 but I had to settle for -123. Forget must win, this is a game where they need tons of style points. Lyon is going to go all out this game.

For those who have the team total option....Don't you think its a safer play? Surely Lyon isn't going to win 1-0. And Surely Lyon would score 2 before they begin to give up hope. It would protect yourself from a late game letdown where maybe somehow Lyon let Zagreb and the books win. One bad score report from Ajax can send the players into a tailspin. Now do I believe any of this will happen....No not really, but why not wear protection when trying to fuck the books.

Just my opinion....If this match ends 1-0 Lyon I'm gonna look like an idiot.

hugh613 and all Lyon backers.

I love that the over 2.5 is at -110...Lyon will definately score and probably get beat on the counter a few times in this game...

In such a must win, the line does scare me. Draw is always a strong possibility, especially on the road.

you&#x27;ll know that the first match wasn&#x27;t even close to being competitive.&#xD;&#xA;I ve seen 1. match,and youve nailed it ! dinamo is missing some defensive players ( joe simunic,coufre,tonel ) and this looks like a pick too obvious.I am dinamo homer but I dont think zgb have enuff physical power as have been seen in all their CL matches. &#xD;&#xA;good luck hugh,and everyone else
