BAYERN MUNICH VS LYON 2010 CHAMPIONS LEAGUE BETTING PREVIEW AND TIPS

After Jose Mourinho produced a true managerial masterclass at the highest level, Lyon will be attempting to produce another big Champions League upset with the hopes of securing their spot in the big clash at the Bernabeu Stadium. Bayern Munich sneaked a win against Manchester United and will be looking to progress to the final for the first time in quite a few years.

You’ll find Bayern Munich are considered the across-the-board favourites at a 4/6 price by top UK bookmaker William Hill. Lyon are listed at a lengthy 9/2 while the draw trades at 5/2. Personally, I think that Lyon would be more than satisfied with the draw, even a 0-0 draw would likely do for the French side. Lyon have a great record against German opposition and I don’t think they will be particularly frightened of anything except possibly for Bayern’s high-flying wingers Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben.
The favoured correct score outcome is a 1-0 result to Bayern, which trades at a 5/2 price. You’ll find that a 2-0 result to the hosts pays out at 13/2 while 2-1 rewards at 7/1. A 1-1 draw pays out at 6/1 with a 2-2 result listed at 16/1- Lyon would certainly take that! Should Lyon manage a dramatic away victory, you’re looking at good prices all around. A 1-0 result pays out at 10/1 while 2-0 is a massive 25/1. A 2-1 result would put Lyon in the driver’s seat and they are trading at 14/1.
Mario Gomez and the hard-hitting Ivica Olic are both priced at even money to score at any time in this fixture. Both players trade at 4/1 to score first or last and 13/2 to hit two or more goals. A hat-trick for either is priced at 25/1. If you’re looking to back Arjen Robben to score another screamer from the edge of the area, he’s listed at a slim 6/4 anytime with an 11/2 price to score first or last. Franck Ribery is at 2/1 anytime and 7/1 first or last. Bastian Schweinsteiger is also worth keeping an eye on at 5/1 anytime.
Lyon will be looking to Lisandro Lopez in this one and he’s at 2/1 anytime and 7/1 first or last. Bafetimbi Gomis is alongside Michel Bastos at 11/4 anytime. Cesar Delgado trades at 10/3- the same price as Yannis Tafer. Kim Kallstrom is worth checking at a solid 4/1 price- I expect him to see a fair amount of the ball.
Lyon are a massive 16/1 to come from behind and win this match while Bayern Munich are priced at 7/1 to do the same. A penalty at any point pays out at 11/4.
Personally, I think that Bayern will be expecting a cruise to victory here, and Lyon may be able to offer up a bit more resistance than the Germans may initially assume. I think if Lyon can get through the first 45 minutes without conceding- it is truly game on. There’s little value on Bayern so punters looking to back Lyon are likely going to get the best paydays. I don’t think there is as much between the sides as the bookmakers are making it out to be.
