REAL MADRID VS LYON 2ND LEG CHAMPIONS LEAGUE BETTING TIPS
The French side notched a solid 1-0 victory against the Galacticos and currently hold a slight edge as attentions shift to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu for the 2nd leg of this high-profile tie. Real Madrid are sitting at a 2/7 price to win today’s match and I think that Lyon are great value at 17/2. The draw pays 9/2 and that would be enough for Lyon to record a shock two-legged victory and send the big-spending Spanish side out of the competition.
You can also back Lyon on a Draw No Bet at 13/2- another great option for punters looking to back the French side.
The favoured correct score outcome is a 2-0 result to Lyon, who are trading at 5/1, while a 2-1 result pays a very solid 13/2. In that instance, Lyon would go through on away goals. If Lyon score, Real Madrid will need to hit three if they want to see themselves through to the second leg. Defense is the key for Los Merengues and a 1-1 draw is a slim 17/2 while 2-2 pays out at 18/1.
Madrid are heavily-favoured to take both legs of the double result with a 3/4 listing. Draw/Madrid pays out at 16/5 while Draw/Lyon is a solid 18/1. Lyon/Madrid pays out at 22/1 while Lyon to take both legs is 18/1 as well.
Cristiano Ronaldo is listed at 8/11 to score anytime and a slim 3/1 to score first or last. He is 5/1 to get 2 or more and 16/1 for a hat-trick. Gonzalo Higuain is also odds-on to score anytime and he’s trading at 4/5 with a 10/3 price first or last. Karim Benzema has odds listed, but is reportedly not fit for the match so ignore that. Kaka trades at evens with a 4/1 first/last price. Raul is available at 6/5.
Lyon will be looking to Lisandro Lopez to notch that all-important away goal. He’s trading at 7/2 anytime and 10/1 first or last- the same prices as Michel Bastos. Bafetimbi Gomis is a talented player and is listed at 4/1 anytime and 11/1 first or last- identical prices to Cesar Delgado. Sidney Govou trades at 5/1 anytime while Kim Kallstrom is listed at 11/2 to score anytime.
I think that Real Madrid are justifiable favourites, but their price is far too short. I think that Lyon will push forward to try to get that away goal as they more or less know that Madrid will score against them at some point. If they can get that, then it’s going to take a lot from Madrid to make this work. I think this one is a total toss-up as to who goes through to the next stage, and I can see Lyon making a real statement here.
