Updated: 2024The Champions League is back! After a long lay-off, Europe’s elite clubs will come together to conclude the 2019/20 Champions League. With France, Italy, Spain and Germany’s league champions still very much in contention, it’s a star-studded line-up that is sure to deliver both fireworks and surprises.
The delayed tournament will see the remaining fixtures concluded in the correct stadium from the usual two-legged format, however, from the quarter-final stage onwards, Portugal will play hosts in a single-legged ‘Final Eight’.
With Serie A finishing last weekend, the Italian sides will be raring to go, building on the momentum they have gained while it will be intriguing to see how the French sides fare having not played a league match since March.
What are the tipsters predicting?
Juventus vs Lyon predictions
Juventus go into the tie having just secured their 9th successive Scudetto with a team high in confidence and fully match fit.
On the flip side, despite leading the fixture 1-0 on aggregate, Lyon have played only one competitive game since March, where they were edged out to PSG in the Coupe de la Ligue Final.
Cristiano Ronaldo will be desperate to get his hands on the trophy again, whilst Maurizio Sarri will look to prove his doubters wrong by progressing further in Europe’s premier trophy. If Lyon hit the ground running, they will very much be in contention in this game and with Memphis Depay having already found the net five times in the Champions League this season, he’ll be confident to add to that tally.
