Prediction: 3-2
Hoffenheim
Olympique Lyon were on the verge of beating Hoffenheim in Germany two weeks ago, but Joelinton’s late goal helped the Bundesliga side grab something from the match. The two teams played out a thrilling 3-3 draw at WIRSOL Rhein-Neckar-Arena, but Lyon are considered hot favourites to win Wednesday’s football match at Groupama Stadium. Les Gones have been scoring goals for fun in the Champions League group stages and seeing that a win over Hoffenheim will see them move one step closer to making it to the last 16 of the elite competition, home win should be considered. It is well known that the Germans are not regarded as good travelers, therefore, we predict that they are going to return home empty-handed. As always, always will be on former Manchester United ace Memphis Depay, speaking of the home side, while Lyon defenders should have Andrej Kramaric at bay.
