Prediction: 1-1
Lyon
A spot in the Europa League quarter-finals will be at stake when FCSB and Olympique Lyon face each other in an eagerly-awaited double-header. FCSB did well to eliminate PAOK in the last 32 and you should know that they are undefeated in the previous eight games in all competitions. Valentin Cretu serves a one-game ban due to accumulation of yellow cards, while the likes of Beaten, Birligea, Lixandru, Olaru, Pantea, and Popescu have been struggling with injuries of late.
Les Gones, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 3-2 loss to PSG, with the team beating Brest 2-1 in their last Ligue 1 game. Nemanja Matic and Co, though, are not regarded as good travellers, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on draw. Left-back Nicolas Tagliafico is back from the Ligue 1 ban, while fellow defender Abner Vinicius continues to miss out with injury.

Nemanja Matic is a Serbian footballer who plays for Premier League side Chelsea. The 194-cm-tall midfielder was born on 1 August, 1988 and he began his football career (youth) at Radnicki Obrenovac.
In 2005 he signed for Kolubara and after impressing with Kosice in the 2008/2009 campaign, Chelsea owners decided to sign him.

Matic was in the form of his life in the 2013/2014 Primeira Liga campaign and he helped the Eagles clinch the domestic trophy. He rejoined Chelsea in 2014 for a fee of €25M and he helped the Blues win the Premier League title in the 2014/2015 season.
