THE PREDICTION
Benfica will have been absolutely delighted to have held German champions Bayern Munich to a 0-0 draw in their opening Group D encounter and will travel to group leaders Lyon with no fear, despite the hosts comfortably dispatching Malmo by three goals to nil in Sweden last time out. The French giants have started this season extremely well and have won their most recent eight matches in all competitions. Whilst Benfica will provide stubborn resistance as shown against Bayern, playing away from home against a team with the firepower of Lyon who have accumulated a staggering 17 goals across their last four matches should eventually overwhelm their backline, particular as the match goes on and the Portuguese side tire. Therefore, back Lyon to overcome Benfica by at least two clear goals.
