The key duel: Sparta Praha's attack against Lyon's back line.
Lyon welcome Sparta Praha in the Champions League. We've crunched the numbers. Here's our preview.
The lead strikers on both sides carry the narrative here. Lyon will lean on whoever's hot in front of goal, while Sparta Praha travel with the same brief: find a way past a back four that's been organised more often than not this season.
Too close to call with any conviction. Lyon edge it at 0% but a draw (0%) is just as likely. One to tread carefully with.
The bookmakers have priced this match fairly. Our model doesn't see a big edge in the match result market.
This one is wide open according to the bookmakers. Lyon at @0.00 (0%) and Sparta Praha at @0.00 (0%) are closely matched, with the draw at @0.00 (0%) very much in play. When the odds are this tight, home advantage could be the deciding factor.
European nights carry a magic all of their own. The anthem, the spotlight, the occasion. Both sets of players will be desperate to deliver under the continental floodlights.
