Benfica vs Lyon Prediction & Tips
Benfica will play their third match in this International Champions Cup where until now the balance is balanced with a penalty shoot-out against Borussia Dortmund (2-2, 4-3 dcr) and a penalty kick-out against Juventus (1- 1, 2-4 dcr). The Portuguese team continues its path after the 2 previous successes against Napredak (3-0) and Sevilla (1-0) and a draw against Vitoria Setubal (1-1). Olympique Lyon are going through a good period despite a defeat against the English side of Huddersfield Town (1-3). With the exception of this misstep, Bruno Genesio’s team drew against Sion (2-2) and won against Fulham (4-0) and Wolfsburg (2-1) during his preparatory meetings. Less than 2 weeks after the restart of Ligue 1, the French team will face 3 more challenging matches in this ICC against Benfica, Inter and Chelsea. The Lions will then try to bring home this first match against the Portuguese, on paper the most affordable of the three.
