Matchday 4 is coming this Tuesday in the Champions League and this critical group G game between Benfica and Lyon will be a nervy affair as this is one of the tightest groups in the entire competition and dropping points here could mean a quick trip to the Europa League.
Benfica
Benfica has been really solid domestically and they just beat this Lyon team last matchday in this competition which should give them all the belief in the world going into this one in hostile territory. They will be wary of what Lyon brings to the table as they only managed to snag that win in the dying moments and that game could have easily went the other way.
Pizzi was the super sub who came on for them in the 85th minute and there really is not reason he should not be starting in this game. He is easily their best creative midfielder and he should have done enough in that last game to prove he deserves a spot going forward for this Benfica outfit.

Benfica will be in hostile territory here, but they will be forced to really push the game here as a tie is likely not enough for them to have a shot to go through to the round of 16. They started off that last game really strong, but seemed to just disappear for 70 minutes until the Lyon goal really woke the team up.
That can’t happen here as this Lyon team has plenty of talent even though the French side finds themselves floating above the relegation zone.
Lyon
Lyon have a similar problem to Benfica even though they have 1 more point than their Portuguese counterparts. They need to get the win here and even a draw probably won’t cut it so they will be throwing everything they can at this Benfica side on Tuesday night.
Although Lyon has been terrible in Ligue 1 this year they are finally getting something going domestically with 7 points in their last 3 games. Without a doubt Lyon’s talisman is Memphis Depay who is an absolute nightmare to defend on his best nights.
Depay has 7 goals in 10 games in Ligue 1 and 3 goals in 3 Champions League games this campaign and has also impressed for his national team. Lyon really should enjoy this while it lasts as he will likely be leaving in the summer for greener pastures.
Free Benfica vs Lyon Champions League Prediction:
You have to lay a bit of juice here, but the over looks like the best bet here as both of these teams have excellent offensive talent and these teams will have to go for the win. Watching that last game there really should have been a ton more goals in that one as there were a lot of chances missed, so I do not expect much to change here as these teams go head to head again.
