THE PREDICTION
SL Benfica deserve huge credit for reaching the quarter-finals after getting through the group stage with just one defeat to their name. They even managed to draw with European champions Barcelona in their final group game, a thrilling affair which ended 4-4 with both teams having already qualified. However, don’t expect them to enjoy as much attacking joy against Olympique Lyonnais, one of the best teams remaining in the competition. An unbeaten group stage campaign, scoring a whopping 25 goals in the process underlines their class and the offensive players at their disposal should overwhelm the hosts here. Back Olympique Lyonnais to record an aggregate lead of at least two clear goals to take with them back to France.
TIP: OLYMPIQUE LYONNAIS TO WIN WITH -1 HANDICAP
