Champions League Quarterfinals Betting – Bordeaux hosts Lyon

Bordeaux hosts Lyon with a two-goal deficit in the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals at Stade Jacques Chaban-Delmas at 14:45 ET.

Girondins de Bordeaux +110
Draw +225
Olympique Lyonnais +265

Before the first meeting, Bordeaux was the leader of the French League and had a winning record in European competition, but now they have three consecutive defeats for the first time this season.

On the other hand, Lyon has three victories in the last four matches and has two wins and a draw in the last three games of this competition.

Lyon will try to make history for the first time by reaching a Champions League semi-final. The last three times that Lyon has reached the quarterfinals were in the 2004 loss to FC Porto, the tie with PSV Eindhoven, and the tie with AC Milan over the next two years.

Lyon will be without Argentine Lisandro Lopez and Sidney Govou, who both were suspended for the second leg, but Lyon is a team that is hard to beat, and for Bordeaux, it will not be easy to overcome a two-goal deficit.

Another absence on Lyon’s team is midfielder Jean Makoun, who will miss the game due to an injury he suffered in the first leg.

On the other hand, Bordeaux recovers Alou Diarra from suspension, but Fernando Menegazzo cannot play due to a cheekbone injury.

One aspect to consider is that Lyon’s team had more time to prepare for this afternoon’s game, while Bordeaux will have no choice but to attack from the start of the game. Laurent Blanc’s team was marked by an outstanding defensive effort, but for this game should recover from a 3-1 defeat.

The tension between these two teams in Ligue 1 has increased, especially when they come to a quarter-final clash in the UEFA Champions League.

Lyon is currently leading Ligue 1 only by a goal difference from Montepeller, both with 57 points, and in the same league, Bordeaux has 56 points.

My Pick: Olympique Lyonnais +265
