Preview
Manchester City and Olympique Lyonnais meet at Etihad Stadium, in a match for this stage of the UEFA Champions League (Group Stage). These two teams have never met before, so this will be the first head‑to‑head between them. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Man City

The home team makes its debut in this competition, since they had direct access and didn't have to go through any of the previous rounds. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 11 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in away matches; against 9 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses at their stadium. They come to this match after a home win against Fulham by (3‑0). Manchester City has won 5, tied 1 and lost 4 of the last 10 home matches. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 24 of the last 30 matches have ended with Over 2,5 goals.

Manchester City has not yet managed to win the Champions League but has been a Premier League champion five times over the course of its history. In the 2017/18 Champions League, the English team did a relatively good campaign, reaching the quarter-finals when it was eliminated by Liverpool by 5-1. Noting the results of Manchester City earlier this season, it is possible to see that the team maintained a high average goal scored during its games, since in the five official matches that played for the national championship were scored more than 1.5 goals and in three of them were scored more than 2.5 goals. We believe that by playing at home in an important competition, City will be able to maintain this standard and make another game with several goals.

Confirmed Lineup: Ederson Moraes, Kyle Walker, John Stones, Aymeric Laporte, Fabian Delph, Fernandinho, İlkay Gündoğan, David Silva, Bernardo Silva, Gabriel Jesus, Raheem Sterling.
Coach: J. Guardiola i Sala.

Analysis Lyon

The away team had direct access to this group stage. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 26 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 11 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses at their stadium, with 30 goals scored and 11 conceded. In their last match, for the Ligue 1, they got an away tie against Caen by (2‑2). In the last 10 away matches Olympique Lyonnais has won 3, tied 2 and lost 5. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 23 of the last 32 matches have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In the last 6 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 3 of their 6 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

Lyon is a French team that has won seven Ligue 1 (French Championship) titles, the last one won in 2007/08, in addition to five Coupe de France, one Coupe de La Ligue and eight French Super Cups, among other national achievements. The team finished the 2017/18 season of Ligue 1 in third position and now in the 2018/19 season is in seventh place. Its last away game for Ligue 1 the team added a 2-2 draw against Caen, showing offensive potential also away from home. We believe that Lyon can make a great match at Manchester City's stadium and play a match with several goals.

Confirmed Lineup: Anthony Lopes, Rafael, Ferland Mendy, Marcelo, Jason Denayer, Tanguy Ndombélé, Pape Diop, Houssem Aouar, Nabil Fekir, Maxwel Cornet, Memphis Depay.
Coach: P. Bosz.
